AnnotationThe author questions the relevance of waiting lists for clients: do they serve a useful social work purpose, or are they are purely administrative devices? This article mainly concerns waiting lists for residential accommodation, maintained by local authorities under the provisions of Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948. However, remarks are also relevant for waiting lists of older people waiting for hospital care or sheltered housing. (RH).
