| Annotation | This study aims to identify different approaches to integrated care taken by separate proposed care services legislation for England and Wales with a view to informing debate on the legislation. In particular it looks at the draft Care and Support Bill for England (July 2012) and the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Bill (January 2013) and outlines similarities in the legal architecture of the two Bills. Similarities and differences are then examined between the two Bills under the headings of general and specific co-operative duties, co-operation, the local authority-NHS divide, safeguarding vulnerable adults, children's services and diversification of providers. The author argues that the Bills fail to provide a mechanism for resolving cross-border disputes. Overall the paper offers no view on whether the English or Welsh Bill is likely to prove more effective in promoting integrated care, but rather aims to identify differences between them with the aim of informing debate on the Bills.
