| Annotation | Following publication of a Green Paper, 'Shaping the future of care together' (Cm 7673) in July 2009, the Department of Health (DH) is consulting on options for the future organisation and funding of adult social care in England. The experiences of other countries can help inform policy development in England. This study examined recent reforms and current debates about adult social care in five developed societies: Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia and Japan. The focus is on three particular issues: the sustainability, economically and politically, of social care funding arrangements; the effectiveness of quasi-market mechanisms in generating a range of quality, responsive services; and how far recent reforms have treated younger and older disabled people equitably and sought to reduce previous inequalities. This Research Works outlines the methods used and main findings of the authors' main report (same title), and summarising the recent reforms in the five countries and the policy implications. (RH). |
