Annotation	Successful development of health and social care partnerships is contingent on the contribution of all stakeholder groups to overcome the 'wicked' issues that beset the field. This article explores four key issues, identified by a network of diverse stakeholders as vital to the future of health and social care partnerships. These key issues are: delivering outcomes to service users; focus on working in partnership with service users and carers; mainstreaming partnership working; and developing the evidence base for partnership working. The article proposes ways in which individuals and organisations from all stakeholder groups can support health and social care organisations to work together to deliver good outcomes to service users and their carers. The article is based on discussions and evidence presented at four seminars funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). (KJ/RH).
