| Annotation | The twelve years preceding the introduction of community care reforms in 1993/94 saw an increased demand for health and social services generated by the increase in numbers of older people, and reflected in the rapid growth of residential and nursing home places (from 224,000 in 1983 to 427,000 in 1994). The authors outline the particular problem posed by the introduction of the Special Transitional Grant (STG) made to local authorities after the introduction of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. Background literature is briefly reviewed in section II and the potential data for forecasting in Appendix I. The forecasting problem is divided into issues of demography and need, and between the need for residential care and domiciliary care. Funding issues, such as ability to pay for meeting demand, and on the basis of what estimates, are presented. (RH). |
