Integration : The Policy“To make our vision for the future of care and support a reality… we need
more joined up working between health, housing and social care services and between care and benefits services”
Care & Support Green Paper
“We need to reform adult social care services, improve integration with health and make services more preventive in nature… we will greatly increase the integration of services by doing more to shape them around patients and to ensure that the boundaries between organisations do not fragment care”
NHS From Good to Great
“At the heart of this is transforming patient pathways, leading to the integration of services and in some cases, the integration of organisations”
NHS Operating Framework

Integration : Top Facilitating Factors
Friendly relationships Leadership Commitment from the top Joint strategy Joint vision Coterminosity Additional funding Patient and user focus Front-line staff commitment
9
Integration : Top hindrances
Performance regimes Financial pressures Organisational complexity Changing leadership Financial complexity Culture Data and I.T. National policies Local history

So…………. None of the top 6 factors which help are mainly
national But the top 2 and 3 of the 5 factors which hinder are
national Only 20% of the factors which help are national
issues So the centre can probably do more harm than good
– it can limit local ambition and progress but can probably do little to create and stimulate joint working
