A reduction in the role of local government as the primary provider of health and social services, including community care throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s has been matched by increasing support for the informal, voluntary and private sectors. The shift of responsibility from public to private has been promoted through a movement towards a mixed economy of care, which advocates increased quality and choice for users, as defined by users. The author's study looks at how three user groups - people with physical disabilities, people with mental health problems, and people with learning difficulties are being encouraged to have a voice in service planning and delivery of services across three local authority areas in the West Midlands.
