| Annotation | This book focuses on community care policy for older and disabled people, and looks at a range of initiatives which aim to develop greater user and carer involvement. The author considers the significance of the introduction of market principles which recasts health and social care users as 'consumers', and the effect on their role as citizens in determining the nature and manner of service provision. The growth of self-organisation among users and carers; and the relationships between family care providers, care receivers and statutory services are all examined. The author concludes with a broader view of community care policy and the governance of public services to consider their implications for communities and citizens. |
