Community Care

by Robin Means and Randall Smith

Published 15 July 1998
This new edition of the textbook on care in the community assesses the impact of community care on users and carers, and the changing roles of social services, health care and other professionals. Strong emphasis is placed on the historical and international context, especially the importance of the European Union, and on providing a balanced assessment of achievements and failures to date, the policy agenda of New Labour and the main challenges for the future.
