| Annotation | Charging users for domiciliary, community care, services has emerged as a contentious policy issue in the 1990s. The author explores why charging has emerged as an important issue; what kinds of policies have emerged; and how they are affecting service users, and what the implications of current trends are for the local welfare systems as a whole. The outcome has been an arbitrary and highly variable set of local policies, which most studies agree are poorly administered, insensitive to the real costs of living with a long-term disability, and do little to empower users.
