While a final draft of the report is pending, it is already clear that the need to significantly reform the existing delivery structure will be put forward as a major proposal. This will include the development of a unitary delivery system involving considerable consolidation of existing agencies, the configuration of services into two broad pillars – one centred on an acute service delivery, which will come under the hospitals authority, and the other on primary, continuing and community care – and the development of large-scale shared services.
