  • Assessment of current collaborative frameworks and potential for improvement.

    • Main Results:

    • Local authorities are disproportionately affected by PCT financial difficulties.
    • Withdrawal of health partners from joint initiatives has been observed.
    • Existing mechanisms are insufficient for managing cross-sectoral financial responsibilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Reactive measures like legal action are detrimental to effective partnerships.
    • Proactive strategic planning is essential for sustainable healthcare and local government collaboration.
    • Redrawing PCT boundaries may offer a structural solution to improve resource allocation and joint working.
