| Annotation | For Britain's black and South Asian minority communities, the development of health and social care in the community is often perceived to be problematic. For some minority groups, or sections of groups, this view is justified, however, it is also argued that to a degree the issue of community care in minority ethnic communities is an over-problematized one. This paper examines the arguments by focusing on the care of older people. It accepts that problems of racism in the planning and delivery of health and social services are serious and lead to limited access to, and under-use of, social services by some. However, it is evident that some minority communities are in a much better position than others to meet the care needs of older people. (AKM). |
