| Annotation | The delivery of health and social care underwent massive change in the UK in the 1990s, the main reasons for which were the failure of joint working arrangements between health and social services, and the need to provide integrated care for people with overlapping health and social care needs. This article draws on a research study investigating community care provided to people with Parkinson's disease in the wake of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. As a chronic progressive disease predominantly affecting older people, the management of PD provides an exemplar of some of the key features of supporting people with continuing care needs. The study found serious deficits in the assessment and meeting of need, arising from the weaknesses at the health and social care interface. An approach that provides resources and supports the service users or carers in managing their own care pathway is considered. (RH). |
