Abstract
Government ministers have stressed that interagency coordinationwill be crucial to the success of their community care proposals. Yetthe history of collaboration between health and local authorities hasbeen one of limited achievements. Notwithstanding this general recordthere are a growing number of examples of apparently successfulcoordination moreover, amongst these are projects involving jointmanagement, which is interagency coordination at its most complex.This article reports on a detailed study of five such projects, across arange of client groups, undertaken on behalf of the Department ofHealth. We found that the essence of such schemes is their fragility andvulnerability to a range of organisational pressures. We concluded thatthese pressures are sufficient to threaten the survival of newlyestablished projects unless managers address certain key imperativeswhich we outline here.
