The forthcoming Devolution White Paper will build on the Rewiring the State Cabinet Statement from July and focus on integrating public services, including health, around shared communities within a given place.
At the heart of this more relational approach is the need for a dual focus on shared outcomes and, critically, shared budgets. With that in mind, this webinar focused on the renewal of policies such as Total Place, which sought in the late 2000s to bring together central and local agencies to map public spending and explore how better alignment of resources, culture and service design could improve outcomes.
It featured an overview of current pilots underway and recently published guidance on how to develop these approaches in practice, identifying how the health sector in particular can play its part.
