The Long-Term Plan is pushing for more integrated care systems, individual trusts, health and social care providers are already make great strides in linking systems. Data and information sharing combined with collaborative leadership is key to making this work. Ambulance Trusts are working with the Police and Mental Health professionals. Outreach and social services are working with primary care and education providers. There are some great examples across the country of visionary leaders bridging the divides between organisations, combining budgets and achieving better outcomes to the populations they serve.
