As many social inequalities widen, this is a crucial survey of local
authorities' evolving role in health, social care and wellbeing. Health
and social and public policy experts review structural changes in
provision and procurement, and explore social determinants of health
including intergenerational needs and housing. With detailed assessments
of regional disparities and case studies of effective strategies and
interventions from local authorities, this collaborative study addresses
complex issues (Wicked Issues), considers where responsibility for
wellbeing lies and points the way to future policy-making. The Centre
for Partnering (CfP) is a key outcome of this innovative review along
with Bonner's previous work Social Determinants of Health (2017).
