Focuses on the interpretation and development of national policy at local authority level. The authors outline the development of welfare services for older people from 1971 to 1993, and explore whether service developments in this period were as inadequate as claimed by proponents of radical change. Drawing on debates during this time, the text illuminates contemporary issues such as rationing care, the health and social care divide, the changing role of residential care and the growing emphasis on provider competition. The continuities and changes in the pre and post 1990 NHS and Community Care Act systems of community care are also examined. Contents include: community care and the modernisation of welfare; targeting, rationing and charging for home care services; the changing role of local authority residential care; the shifting boundaries between health and social care; towards a mixed economy of social care for older people?; towards quasi-markets in community care; developing community care for the future: lessons and issues from the past.
