| Annotation | Drawing on fieldwork in five local authorities, this paper examines the benefits of the purchaser/provider split; whether purchasers are better at identifying needs than providers; whether there is evidence of competition involving multiple providers and suppliers, and whether there has been an increase in responsiveness, using domiciliary care as an example. |
