They include: achieving greater flexibility in the response to the needs and wishes of users and carers; containing costs increases and achieving greater cost-effectiveness; consolidation of structures; competition, variety and choice in a mixed economy; care management and assessment; clarity in targeting; improvement of mechanisms for orchestrating the system.
