By considering the ideological basis of a range of welfare policies from the Poor Law to the NHS and Community Care Act, identifies how those policies have helped to created dependency and in doing so, to oppress disabled people. The central argument is that the current community care policies share an ideology with the Poor Law and the National Assistance Act. As such it is unlikely to bring about a less oppressive model of welfare as far as disabled people are concerned. Some alternatives that have been proposed by disabled people are discussed, and considers the support received in recent years from some feminist social policy writers. Proposals for change at both structural and institutional levels are drawn from the experience of the USA. Questions whether such alternatives would be feasible in Britain, and more pertinently, questions the effect of implementing community care policies without a fundamental rethinking of their ideological bases.
