It argues that public private partnerships at local authority level tend to emerge where existing sevice deficiencies are greatest and most often involve the private voluntary sector. These partnerships typicaly function as "hybrid" concession where the private operator performs a service and collects a fee but without responsibility for capital investment. Many of the most succesful partnerships have operated at the most localised level involving a coalition of stakeholders under local authority co-ordination. However, few partnerships have developed adequate mechanisms for joint planning, management and monitoring of services
