These profiles draw on data from interviews as well as published and unpublished materials detailing each ICS’s strategy, governance arrangements and plans for service changes.

The site profiles are intended to give a flavour of the arrangements being put in place in each site; however, they do not provide comprehensive details of all the work that is under way. Contact information is provided for each site for readers who would like to find out more. It is also important to note that the information presented here reflects a particular point in time. Arrangements were under development during this research and are likely to have evolved since.
