| Annotation | Care management has become a key component in the development of community-based care in many countries. This paper examines the different care management arrangements for older people's services now emerging in English local authority social services departments (SSDs). It has been United Kingdom government policy since 1989 that the providers of social services develop care management systems, as confirmed in the White Paper, "Modernising social services" (Cm 4169, TSO, 1998). Firstly, the authors outline the background to the policy changes, and discuss the role of care management in the British social care system. Secondly, evidence from the early phases of care management development is examined. Thirdly, the evidence from a major national study of care management arrangements for older people on the patterns of variation on key dimensions is considered. (KJ/RH). |
