- Publisher:
- Taylor and Francis
In the UK, one of the effects of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 has been to highlight the impact of policy changes and changes to service organisation upon the types and levels of service provision. However, much of the existing literature on the use of community and long-term care services by people with dementia is based upon data collected prior to the implementation of the Act. The article identifies some of the methodological issues and highlights the increasing importance that is likely to be attached to incorporating the service preferences of people with dementia and their carers in the future.

Summarises the findings from key texts that address severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD), covering the co-occurrence of homelessness, drug and alcohol misuse, mental health problems, cycles of violence and abuse, and chronic poverty. The review highlights attempts to: define the issue politically; provide data on the scope and scale of SMD; highlights effective services; and makes recommendations for service delivery and government policy. The review also identifies key political benefits for future action, including cost effectiveness resulting from reducing overlaps in service provision and the development of new and innovative services.
