Annotation	This article draws attention to the current level of engagement of care service provider organisations with shadow health and wellbeing boards. It argues that full engagement of provider organisations will improve the effective working of the future health and wellbeing boards, both in the creation of good commissioning strategies and in their subsequent implementation. A survey of Voluntary Organisations Disability Group (VODG) members was undertaken, and analysed alongside other reports of progress in implementation. Findings show that currently there is a very low level of engagement of provider organisations. A notable exception is in Coventry which is an exemplar for good engagement: a case study is provided. A connection is made between emerging government policy on market facilitation in social care and its implications for health and wellbeing boards. (JL).
