AnnotationReference is made to the five Development Sites which comprise the King's Fund Joint Commissioning Project: Easington, Hillingdon, Oxfordshire, Victoria (Westminster) and Wiltshire. This briefing concentrates on the achievement of change, particularly making a positive impact on older people's lives through collaborative commissioning. Key ingredients of successful collaborative commissioning are outlined: awareness of the wider context; support from the top of agencies; having effective "models of means"; and effective involvement of older people in decisions about their lives. Local circumstances will properly determine where collaborative commissioning will make its initial impacts. (RH).
