| Annotation | This was first presented at the 1998 Annual SSRG Workshop, which was on the theme of researching, managing and surviving change. There have been attempts to define the meaning of health and social care and to consider what integrated forms of health care might look like. This paper considers inter-agency arrangements generally, and horizontal and vertical integration. Seamless services are unlikely. Rather, the aim should be to ensure that existing boundaries do not provide negative incentives for effective flows of care, which must be the goal of successful integration. (RH). |
