Councillors have voted to put the brakes on plans to change the way the health care service in Devon is being run.
Proposals by North Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group and Devon County Council would have seen an integrated health and care system implemented from April.
It would see commissioners and NHS providers working closely with GP networks, local authorities and other partners, who agree to take shared responsibility for how they operate their collective resources for the benefit of local populations.
Critics, including some councillors, have claimed there has not been enough public consultation, and the plans were a start of privatising services, and had less public accountability.
Senior councillors said the changes were not being rushed through and it was about "putting clients and patients first before anything else".
However, new recommendations are to go back to the council's cabinet for consideration.
