The piecemeal development of the law on community care has resulted in a complex and sometimes confusing framework. This book aims to set the record straight, with coverage of the duty to assess, the duty to provide, the duty to accommodate, domicilliary services, special groups, charging provisions, and statutory remedies. The appendices contain significant statutory provisions, such as the relevant parts of the National Health Services Act 1977 and the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, as well as various regulations, circulars and directives.
