Health on borrowed time? Prioritizing and meeting needs in low-income households
Health care behaviour studies have tended to focus on health beliefs and other influences on decisions to consult professional health services. The practicalities, task scheduling and negotiations required to implement such decisions have received comparatively little attention. Whereas the role of kin and others as advisers in the lay referral network has been explored, their practical role in enabling or constraining the implementation of healt…
Dignity and aspirations denied
United Kingdom Government guidance emphasizes the importance of service users' choice, dignity and realization of their personal aspirations as essential values underpinning the implementation of its community care policies, including services for people living at home. In response to concerns expressed by senior officers in health and social services, a qualitative study was undertaken to identify gaps and overlaps in domiciliary health and soci…
The roles of friends and neighbours in providing support for older people
Most published research on informal care for older people focuses on the support provided by relatives. The role of non-kin carers can, however, also be significant in supporting older people in their own homes. In this paper, we report the findings from an exploratory study of the support provided by friends and neighbours who are the main carers of frail older people. It draws on interviews with an opportunistic sample of friends, neighbours an…
Looking Inwards, Looking Outwards
This paper argues that at a time when policy guidance urged closer collaboration and joint working between health and social services, the long‐established cultural and professional gaps were widening and deteriorating. Drawing on data from four research sites, the paper argues that the deterioration was rooted principally in practitioners' preoccupations with changes within their own organizations and daily work, resulting from a major period of…
Accounting for Disability
This paper has two aims. First, it will summarise the findings of a study of the views and experiences of adults with acquired physical impairments. This entailed taking open-ended accounts from respondents in order to elicit their concerns and experiences. The paper will focus on two aspects of data from the study: views about health and social services; and those about citizenship. The second aim of the paper is to situate the role and status o…
Child protection and health promotion
Conflicting ideologies of individual ‘responsibility’ are expounded in two aspects of Government policy which have specific implications for the family: the Children Act 1989 and the Government's strategy for health, as set out in Health of the Nation. These conjunction underpin contradictions in the casting of both professional and parental responsibility for the health and welfare of young children. This paper examines assumptions about respons…
