Argues that what disabled people mean when they speak of 'rights' is relatively under-developed with regard to health and social services. Furthermore, while a claim, of 'rights' is typically presented as a fairer alternative to the needs-based character of welfare policies, how such an approach would change the delivery of health and social care is unclear. The article draws on a landmark test case involving community care provision in Gloucestershire to explore the problems of a rights-based approach to social justice for disabled people.
