Annotation	This Update is based on research regarding the relationship between localisation and partnership, which also aimed to develop a comparative account of primary care groups (PCGs) across four localities in two NHS regions: Northern and Yorkshire; and South and West. The two stages of data collection are summarised. The fieldwork is outlined in terms of: locality description and partnership histories; PCG board relationships; the PCG board and its constituencies; the PCG and interagency relationships; the PCG and public legitimation; and the 'early product' and its prospects. In the event, it was clear in the White Paper, "The new NHS: modern, dependable" that a localised focus was no longer an option, although 'collaborative' or 'partnership' models were. (RH).
