Examines the interaction between the formal service sector and three groups of people with learning difficulties: those resettled from long-stay hospitals; those resettled within the community from hostels or the family home; and those living with their families. Finds that funding arrangements and traditional service provider categories work against the provision of a combined service for all people with learning difficulties, and that people living with their families and older people are particularly vulnerable under current arrangements.
