| Annotation | This study was designed to find out whether users' and carers' organisations believed it was important to examine outcomes of community care, and to identify specific issues that would inform SPRU's (Social Policy Research Unit) programme of research and development. Respondents gave five main reasons for monitoring outcomes: shifting the focus to users' and carers' needs; to show that community care arrangements are not achieving desired objectives; accountability; and to inform service development. Work already carried out included: facilitating user and carer empowerment; needs assessment and service evaluation; and influence in service planning and development. |
