| Annotation | The official guidance on the new policy of community care emphasized care management as the means to securing needs-led services, together with user empowerment and choice. This paper uses data from eighteen months intensive fieldwork in five local authorities, first, to examine the very different interpretations of care management in these authorities; second, to examine two major sources of difficulty in the implementation of care management systems - the simultaneous development of purchaser/provider splits, and the tension between needs and resources; and finally, to draw some conclusions about the implications of care management for social workers. |
