| Annotation | As part of its research on the welfare of old people, the Social Welfare Research Centre (SWRC) commissioned the author to review federal and state government policies which relate to those with brain failure. The paper identifies the resources which go into the care of this population: the community and institutional sectors in the formal system; and the informal care system. The author discusses policy issues, as to whether the state (local or national) or the family should bear responsibility. The point is made that families cannot necessarily cope with dealing with ageing relatives in a state of confusion, without suffering breakdown themselves. (RH). |
