title: Public health. Trail blazers.
abstract: Public health professionals have expressed concern at the decision to give the NHS overall control of joint services. For joint working to be effective management has to be set from both the primary care trust and local authority. Pooling information between the two organisations allows a better understanding of the population and its health.
