The theme of this collection of essays is partnerships between
health and local government. Such partnerships are not new. Nor is
discussion of the merits (or otherwise) of collaboration between
the two sectors. The history of collaboration between these two
sectors of the public services has been chequered to say the least;
indeed, the boundary between health and social care has been
described as a 'Berlin Wall'.
However, New Labour's ascension to power in 1997 has rekindled an
avid interest in this issue. The government's emphasis on
partnerships and collaboration has been projected as a key element
of its 'Third Way' philosophy. Partnership working in particular
has been viewed as the most appropriate means of addressing
endemic, obdurate social ills, such as social exclusion, poor
health, poverty, and low educational standards.
