| Annotation | The NHS and Community Care Act 1990 placed an important emphasis on user choice. The London Research Centre's Care Homes Information Network's (CHIN) holds five databases on: residential care homes and dually registered homes for elderly people; residential homes for people with learning disabilities; homes for people with physical disabilities; mental health resources; and nursing homes. This paper analyses CHIN's searches over two and a half years in detail. The aim is to find out for which London users placement officers are having most difficulty locating appropriate residential and nursing care. |
