| Annotation | The National Audit Office (NAO) presents and discusses 16 challenges to improved joint working between health and social care in a report arranged in fourt parts. Part One sets out the case for improved working at the interface between health and social care, along with the key strategies and initiatives of NHS England and the departments concerned. Parts Two to Four discuss the challenges that have made closer working difficult: financial challenges; culture and structures; and strategic issues. The report highlights examples of work being carried out nationally and locally to overcome these challenges and the progress that has been made. Among challenges identified are: pressures, arrangements and priorities for funding; leadership; health and local government geographies; information systems and data sharing; separate workforces; and how to increase preventative care.
