Partnership Working Towards Achieving National Outcomes: The Scottish and English Experiences

Abstract

Use of local area agreements (LAAs) has been developing in England since 2004. Single outcome agreements have been a more recent innovation in Scotland. These agreements provide a vehicle for developing integrated planning and service delivery, and can support local integrated working. This article compares the English and Scottish approaches. It draws on earlier OLM research into the LAA programme and provides a description of the current Scottish approach.
