| |  | | Sponsored by Hays Specialist Recruitment
Invidious, and certainly difficult, as it may be to put one category winner above all others, there will be an overall Guardian Public Services Awards team of the year. This team will have demonstrated an exceptional level of application, innovation and achievement and will have delivered substantial improvement in a public service that has made a real difference to people's lives.
Past overall winners have reflected the full breadth of the awards. Last year, it was Croydon NHS primary care trust, for its Virtual Wards initiative. In 2006, it was Bristol Community Housing Federation, for its transformation of a rundown housing estate. The 2005 winner was a team from the former Department for Constitutional Affairs that implemented the Xhibit IT system in the crown courts. In 2004 the accolade went to Blackburn with Darwen council for its one stop children's centres.
The 2008 winner will be chosen from the individual category winners. It is not possible to enter for it separately.
