Despite the widely held belief that the social services were
allocated solely on the basis of client need, and could therefore
be directly contrasted with the operation of the private market, in
the 1970s there remained a wide range of services for which the
consumer had to pay directly at the time of consumption. Consumer
charges were widely used, for example, for residential
accommodation, for the provision of day care and for domiciliary
services. Originally published in 1980, Charging for Social Care
provided a long overdue examination of the use of these charges in
the personal social services. It analyses their historical origins,
current operation and their social and financial significance. In
addition, it provides a clear theoretical framework within which
pricing policies should be determined and outlines the policy for
pricing personal social services in the future. In undertaking this
analysis Ken Judge and James Matthews had gone beyond the rhetoric
which in the past had characterised discussions about charges.
Their detailed and perceptive study was based on a report for the
Department of Health and Social Security. It would still be of
interest to students and teachers of social policy and social
administration, to policy makers in both central and local
government, to students of the economics of social policy and of
the public sector, to social workers, and to all those with an
interest in the personal social services and in public spending
decisions.
