AnnotationThis brief article marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Wagner Report "A Positive Choice", on residential care. The Residential Forum subsequently set up, to uphold its principles and to promote and monitor their implementation has marked the occasion with an anniversary lunch and launch of a new book "Residential Care - A Positive Future" (Residential Forum, 2008). The author considers the current position of residential care and concludes with Lady Wagner's comments made during the lunch, "that government policy, in its determination to support people to live independently, has neglected the contributions made by residential care", which she emphasised should continue to be made available for those who need such a care setting and to be seen as a positive choice. (KJ/RH).
