| Annotation | This paper reports on the organisation of care management from a longitudinal study of community care for people resettled from long-stay learning disability and psychiatric hospitals. The "12 years on" study followed up 275 people with learning disabilities and 125 with mental health problems across 12 learning disability and 8 mental health study services. The diversity of care management arrangements found at earlier points i the evaluation remained evident. Also, many of the former "care in the community" service users were excluded from mainstream care management arrangements in their localities. The difficulty of developing person-centred arrangements in learning disability and the lack of integration of the Care Programme Approach (CPA) and care management were evident. The findings and observations are placed in the wider policy and practice context, with suggestions for taking care management forward nationally and locally. (RH). |
