Enhancing democratic accountability in health and social care:The role of reform and performance information in Health and Wellbeing Boards

The UK government passed the Health and Social Care Act in 2012, and a key element of this legislation was the introduction of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) in local government.
