Both the primary health care team (PHCT) and social services departments in the UK have undergone substantial changes to their organization and function since 1990.

It focuses on evidence from seven initiatives designed to involve members of the PHCT in commissioning social care services; It examines some of the benefits and challenges of working together to commission services for health authority managers, GPs, district nurses, care managers and social work team managers in the light of impending. changes to the PHCT,. particularly the abolition of fund holding and the introduction of Primary Care Groups.
