| Annotation | The author seeks to show that it is quite possible to think clearly about equity principles, and to think through the implications of applying these principles to social care. He notes that whereas academic commentators tend to think in terms of equity and equality, the Government almost always uses the term "fairness". This Viewpoint reviews some of the key proposals in adult social care of the last ten years from an equity perspective. It uses the analysis to argue that we can develop practical policies that are informed by clearly stated principles which serve to ensure that the most disadvantaged groups of people are treated more fairly. (RH). |
