AnnotationThis paper - part of a research project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) - develops a typology of welfare services, and attempts to illustrate its use in clarifying discussions about the privatisation of welfare and in analysing changes in expenditure. It identifies three dimensions of 'private welfare' - provision, finance, and decision. Changes in patterns of expenditure and in the relative sizes of public and private welfare sectors between 1979/80 and 1995/96 are examined. The extent of consumers' decision-making power is gaining in importance for policy making.
