AnnotationA scoping paper published by the Law Commission in 2008 claims that the law on adult social care is complex and based on outdated concepts, and therefore needs to be reformed. The boundary between health care and social care services is less clear than it once was, but its existence can be damaging to service users. Although there is good evidence of integrated working, more needs to be done. Existing duties could be consolidated, or health care and social care bodies - and maybe others - could be placed under a general duty to co-operate. (RH).
