| Annotation | In this book, the author gives his interpretation of the law of community care with reference to the central community care statutes as listed in the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, and to the law as at 31 July 1996. Contents include the duties of local authorities to plan, assess need and provide services and accommodation; the legal status of official guidance and directions; key cases on how local authorities are to reconcile the duty to assess need with the resources available to meet it; local authorities' powers to charge and their duties to co-operate with the NHS and other providers; and remedies available through official complaints procedures, ombudsmen, judicial review and the European Court of Human Rights. Appendices comprise the main statutory provisions and regulations. |
