Primary Care Trusts and Ambulance Trusts

I welcome the statement and am pleased that the Government have taken notice of local consultation. What we have in front of us is not the top-down method that the exercise was accused of pursuing late last year. In relation to moving PCTs to be coterminous with local authority social services, what plans does the Minister have to ensure that there will be joint working where the changes took place in this round? It is not always easy to achieve that between local authorities and local health communities, as many of us have experienced. What plans does he have across government to ensure that local social services, health and, probably, housing work well together from day one, as opposed to waiting for that to evolve at a local level over the years?
