AnnotationOutlines the findings of the second annual survey of UKHCA members since the community care changes came into force in 1993. The survey provides a profile of the independent domiciliary care sector, and examines its relationships with local government - from which the proportion of contracted out services has expanded considerably. However, the level of dependence on local authorities, and the relative instability of funding from this source, is also seen as a threat to business viability and continuity of care from the independent sector providers' perspective.
