What I'm getting at is, with the "Enhanced" bit, will it mean ALL services in the Authority's area (eg. Greater Manchester) be covered?

The Sheffield Partnership has been a disaster according to some. 
Interesting figures and comments in that article and I know not all changes have gone down well. 
Further changes planned for next month are less than popular too. 

I haven't looked at the Manchester deal for a while, so can't comment on who or what will be included or whether there have been changes to previous plans.
