The book analyzes the organization of the different elements of the personal social services through both community and residential care in health and social work. Key debates and conflicts are identified and commented upon, including: specialist or generic services?; centralization or decentralization?; residential solutions or community options?; bureaucratic control or entrepreneurialism?; and public provision or public regulation? It aims to take account of trends in the voluntary sector, the implementation of community care and parts of the Griffiths Report and the outcomes of political changes in the priorities for the social services.
