Principles of a "Health Compact" have also been agreed between the NHS and the VCS. There is now a Steering Group working to develop these principles, and three "Task Groups" (on funding, partnership, and participation and consultation) Codes of Practice developed. A Consultation Workshop on the future of Sheffield Health & Local Authority Compacts was held on 6 November 2008 - see report
