The health, children and adult social care sectors are in a period of unequivocal change.

The new Health and Social Care Bill has set out the foundations for a radical reform of the health service; with the aim of achieving better health outcomes and a more personalised service. Responsibility for commissioning of patient care services will be devolved to GPs and local authorities will take on responsibility for public health and health improvement whilst establishing new joint commissioning arrangements with GP consortia.

In children's social care the recommendations published in the Munro report will have a significant impact on how services for vulnerable children are commissioned, delivered and inspected. More than ever before, health and social care services will need to work together and integrate; providing care and services which meet the needs of patients and service users, which are effective and evidence-based, and which realise efficiency and productivity savings.
