As public spending cuts bite, joint working between health and
social care is more important than ever before - but even harder to
achieve. Following a series of high profile reforms and policy
announcements, this substantially updated second edition highlights
key developments under both the UK New Labour (1997-2010) and the
Coalition governments (2010-), focusing on the key policy and
practice dilemmas facing community health and social services. With
partnership working now part of core business rather than an
optional extra, this book is essential reading for anyone studying
or working in health and social care. It provides practical
material to populate the theoretical and conceptual knowledge of
social policy students, and conceptual material to help make sense
of the practical experience of professional students on training
courses. It also appeals to both a social care and a health care
audience - and particularly to those who seek to work such
boundaries.
