This paper explores the transition from children's to adult's services for young people who have long-term health problems. It identifies barriers and gaps in commissioning health care transition. It provides recommendations for integrated commissioning practice in order to avert the service "cliff edge" - when a child or young person stops receiving some services they previously received, often on their 18th birthday.
