The boundaries of PCTs and LSPs do not necessarily coincide, and an LSP may need to work with more than one PCT - which may have different priorities, attitudes to data-sharing, etc. There are current proposals to reorganise PCTs and align their boundaries with those of local authorities.
 
PCTs work very closely with the Fire and Rescue Service and with the Ambulance Service. Increasingly they are working with Jobcentre Plus on employment and health-related initiatives, eg, in support of Incapacity Benefit claimants.
