  • Several councils plan to pool their entire adult care budget with the NHS, in a boost to the integration of care between the two sectors
  • The Health and Social Care Information Centre’s new technology strategy is predicted to put it on a collision course with NHS England
  • Alex Kafetz and Francine Bennett discuss the potential and pitfalls of the NHS’s ‘big data revolution’
  • In Nottingham, a new approach to community services changing the way holisitic care is delivered to older people
