A study of households containing only people over 75 indicated that a high percentage of people chose to buy some form of care from the private or voluntary sector. Paying for care did not bring market power and older people were marginal customers who usually did not feel able to complain if they got poor service. The study also showed that the services are not provided by the state and are in short supply in less affluent areas. The authors concluded that community care policies which were user-led, or which aimed at preventive care, would expand the provision of such services.
