Sheffield has been praised for the city’s approach to ‘joined-up’ health and social care.
The £278 million ‘better care fund’, a pot of money which has been allocated to improve the way the NHS, local authorities and communities work together, will be launched next year.
It is the single biggest joint budget in the country.
The Health Services Journal welcomed Sheffield’s ‘ambitious’ approach in the light of ongoing problems with NHS finances, and warnings about the sustainability of many social care services throughout the UK.
