| Annotation | In the final article in a series examining proposals in the White Paper, "Our health, our care, our say" (Cm 6737; TSO, 2006), the author explains the consequences of the proposed closer strategic relationship between primary and social care. Partnerships between social care and primary care have tended to focus on improving joint working between front-line staff. Such partnerships are at least as important today. However, the White Paper's aim of realigning the whole system also demands strong commissioning alliances between local authorities and primary care trusts (PCTs) to shift investment towards interdependence, good health and well-being.
