The Smith Institute has published a collection of essays responding to the Five Year Forward View . Included in this is a contribution from Charlotte Augst, Richmond Group Partnerships Manager, which aims to address some of the barriers to progress by reframing how we should think and talk about the prevention challenge.

The Richmond Group were invited by the Local Government Association to contribute to a collection of essays reflecting on the decision to further devolve health and care commissioning and provision to Manchester local authorities. Charlotte Augst (page 24/25) argues that whilst moves to greater integration are welcome, structural reorganisations alone rarely deliver the transformational change of patient experience and outcomes that are required.
