Beskrivning

This title was first published in 2000: Equity and Efficiency Policy provides a completely new perspective on post-reform community care, analyzes its fairness, effectiveness and efficiency in a new way and uses its powerful new techniques applied to a major national collection of evidence to suggest how to develop the Modernization Agenda. It - describes, for the first time, how differences in the levels of each of the main services alone and in combination affect a wide range of user and carer benefits; - uses this knowledge to analyze in a new way and make policy proposals about some of the pressing policy issues of the government’s Modernization Agenda.

’It is the great achievement of this book that, whilst it inhabits the rarified world of policy systems and how they can be rendered more systematic, it never loses sight at any point of the key gerontological axioms of independence and locus of control.’ Education and Ageing
