The reform of community and long-term care has been an important theme of policy development around the world during the last decade. British community care is a particularly interesting and impressive example of changes which have parallels in other countries. 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. Reviews the evidence on equity and efficiency in British community care: resources, needs and outcomes, and, in particular, targeting and the production of welfare.

Uses a diary-based approach to examine the distribution of time of different professional staff in two community mental health teams for the elderly. It was possible to discriminate between two broad groups of staff, defined as core workers and extended role members of the teams based upon the range of responsibilities and patterns of time use. The latter group consisted of clinicians and psychologists. About three-quarters of staff time was spent in client-related activities, although there were differences between core and extended workers, the latter undertaking more service-related activities. The similarity of patterns of time use by core workers and other community-based workers is noted and the distinction between key workers and care managers is considered.
