- Part of the Local Government Association Rewiring Public Services campaign describing their view of the importance of integrated care across the health and social care system
- "Integration should now be a mainstream activity, not a series of experiments in small areas."
- "Services need to work with people as a whole: as individuals in their family context and their neighbourhoods, not as a series of isolated problems, crises and traumatic life events. A place-based public service budgets approach, which enables integrated commissioning of social care and primary health services, is the most effective way to put in place the right support to achieve the best health and wellbeing outcomes and reduce the need for, and costs of, inpatient treatment."
