The difference between an NHS manager and a LA/ SSD manager is
significant when considering the integration of health and social care
and I believe has been under explored when considering the reasons for
frustratingly slow progress. So here goes a rather undiplomatic
account of over 30 years trying to make it work.
As a new manager in Social Services I was quickly exposed to my

null Ambushed or Rescued
It can be difficult to get politicians to say publicly something they know will be unpopular. So being a local Authority senior manager and having a cabinet member who requests you write his speeches sounds ideal. But .......

It's an often claimed truism that it is a matter of indifference to the public who empties their bins, as long as the service is good.
