| Annotation | Legislation in the past three years has led to major changes in the provision of care in England and Wales, with similar enactments in Scotland. The Health Act 1999 extended powers of mutual co-operation between local authorities and NHS bodies in relation to the commissioning and delivery of care. The Care Standards Act 2000 introduced root and branch reform of rules relating to the regulation of social care and private and voluntary health care services in England and Wales. The Health and Social Care Act 2001 further promotes "joined-up" working between health and social services, and implements the government's response to recommendations on public funding made by the Royal Commission on Long Term Care. This article outlines their provisions with regard to registration, regulations, standards, inspection, management, qualifications for staff, public finance, and preventing elder abuse. (RH). |
