The theme of this collection of essays is partnerships between
health and local government. Such partnerships are not new. Nor is

sectors of the public services has been checkered 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 re-kindled an avid interest in this issue. The
Government's emphasis on partnerships and collaboration has been
projected as a key element of their 'Third Way' philosophy.

as social exclusion, poor health, poverty, low educational
standards and so on. No one agency can tackle these 'wicked issues'
which require collaborative action. New Labour's enthusiasm for
partnership approaches produced many new iniatives, legislation and
guidance, powers and duties, incentives and rhetoric. And the
Government's exhortation to collaborate has been particularly
intense in the area of joint working bet
