Recent community care changes have raised fundamental issues about
the changing role of the public, voluntary and informal sectors in
the provision of social care to older people. They have also raised
issues about the health and social care interface, the extent to
which services should be rationed and the respective roles of
residential care and care at home. From Poor Law to community care
sets these debates in the context of the historical growth of
welfare services from the outbreak of the Second World War through
to the establishment of social services departments in 1971. Based
on extensive research on primary sources, such as the Public
Records Office and interviews with key actors, the book considers
the changing perceptions of the needs of elderly people, the extent
to which they have been a priority for resources and the
possibilities for a policy which combines respect for elderly
people with an avoidance of the exploitation of relatives. This is
an updated second edition of The development of welfare services
for elderly people, first published by Croom Helm, 1985. It is
essential reading for practitioners and policy makers interested in
gerontology, policy studies, community care and postgraduate
students studying and training in a range of health and social care
related professions.
