Abstract
This paper presents three important reasons why agencies and professionals may collaborate in providing health and social services: to provide better quality care, especially for people with complex needs; greater organisational efficiency; and because of financial incentives. It outlines research on the enablers and barriers to collaboration and reports the findings of a comprehensive evaluation of the outcomes of collaboration in mental health services in England.
