| Annotation | Commissioning is an essential means of improving services for people in both local government and health authorities. Joint commissioning is a significant component; and policy-makers and managers are frequently asked how this might be developed and what barriers are to be overcome. This paper explores the developing policy framework that supports joint commissioning and the benefits and challenges. While joint commissioning might be considered a matter for local authorities and primary care trusts (PCTs), this paper also explores the role to be played by communities and those using services as well as providers.
