Stepping up to the place: the key to successful health and care integration
Bringing together health and social care has been a constant and dominant policy theme for many decades, and many places around the country are already demonstrating the potential to do things differently.

So we have come together to describe what a fully integrated, transformed system should look like based on what the evidence tells us.
