AnnotationThis Green Paper reviews the progress in developing partnerships between purchasers of mental health and social care services. It sets out four options for organisational change: creating new mental health and social care authorities to plan and purchase mental health and social care services only; designating either health or local authorities with single authority responsibility for planning, and purchasing mental health and social care services; establishing a joint health and social care body with a shared budget to fund mental health and social care services; or agreed delegation by health and local authorities of particular functions or responsibilities to each other, transferring funds where appropriate. Comments on these proposals should be submitted by 9 May 1997, to: NHS Executive Headquarters, Mental Health Branch, Room 325, Wellington House, 135-155 Waterloo Road, London SE1 8UG.
