| Annotation | With the implementation in April 1993 of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, the social care market became an external market, rather than an internal market, in which independent sector providers play a substantial role. This book is based on a study, commissioned by the Department of Health (DoH) Research and Development Division of how 25 local authorities were preparing for the Act's implementation. It records the different ways in which they defined and approached the implementation task. It also analyses some central elements and implications of the policy to create a social care market, such as the transfer of residential care homes. (RH). |
