  "abstract": "This paper argues that the future role of Health Overview and Scrutiny in England, as carried out by local authorities, is increasingly uncertain. Continuing changes in the structure of the NHS, and the increasing integration of health with adult social care will also perpetuate further change, ambiguity and ineffectualness. Local authorities and their Councillors will need to be far more proactive if they are to not only cope with this pace of change, but also continue to perform their overview and scrutiny function effectively. The NHS itself also needs to provide more guidance to Overview and Scrutiny Panels so that they can better understand the changing health and adult social care landscapes.",
