Integrating dementia care in England and The Netherlands
Prices, contracts and motivations
English The social care reforms of the early 1990s have had profound effects on the domiciliary care system. The adoption of markets and the ‘enabling’ role for local authorities are central features. In contrast to much of the original rhetoric that lay behind these reforms, economic theory emphasises the importance of the institutional arrangements in affecting performance. Given the discretion that local authorities have over the specific form…
Commissioning care services for older people in England
One of the key objectives of the community care reforms of 1990 in the United Kingdom was the development of a flourishing independent sector alongside good quality public services. The aims of the reforms were to increase the available range of options, widen consumer choice and promote independence. The purpose of the study reported here was to examine – from the perspective of older service users, their carers and care managers – experiences a…
The Motivations of Domiciliary Care Providers in England
The independent sector domiciliary care market has always been an integral part of the social care system in England, but has become especially important in recent years. Its smooth running is crucial for the delivery of an effective community care policy. This paper argues that the motivations of these providers is an important aspect of this system's functioning, and derives a typology which captures the most important ingredients which theory …
The influence of institutions and culture on health policies
The concept of integrated care has assumed growing importance on the policy agendas both in England and The Netherlands and elsewhere. It is characterized as health and health care‐related social care needed by patients with multi‐faceted needs. This article compares policy approaches to integrated care in England and The Netherlands. Differing political strategies and conditions for integrated care correspond to the dissimilarities in the instit…
Movement and change
Promoting the development of a flourishing independent sector alongside good quality public services was a key objective of the community care reforms of the last decade. This paper charts some of the ways the independent domiciliary care sector is changing, as local authorities shift the balance of their provision toward independent sector providers and away from a reliance on in-house services. Two surveys of independent domiciliary care provid…
Localization and Partnership in the ‘New National Health Service
This article examines some important and interesting differences in the designs of the ‘New NHS’ in England and Scotland in respect of two common guiding imperatives – localization and partnership. In examining the view of key local stakeholders faced with introducing the changes, we contrast the generally more flexible and less prescriptive approach in Scotland. In England there was, initially, a raft of guidance from the centre: in Scotland, by…
Commissioning for Quality
The introduction of social care markets was one of the main planks of the Conservative government's community care reforms of 1990. The Labour government, whilst emphasising collaboration rather than competition, has not sought to reverse this policy. What have been the consequences? We discuss a decade of market-related change under five heads: purchasers, providers, commissioning, care planning and delivery, and users and carers. There have bee…

In Pursuit of Inter-Agency Collaboration In The Public Sector
Although long seen as desirable, inter-agency collaboration has remained conceptually elusive and difficult to achieve. Whilst recognising that there are other positions, this article takes the normative position that collaboration is generally a ‘good thing’. It brings together strands of theoretical, conceptual and empirical literature from diverse disciplines in ‘order to better understand inter-agency collaboration as a concept and as a proce…
Dimensions of choice in the assessment and care management process
The aim of promoting the maximum possible choice for service users and carers is - together with the goal of greater independence - central to recent community care policies. This paper sets out a typology of those key choices which users and carers are expected to be able to make within each stage of the assessment and care management process: choices about what services, when to receive them (i.e. at what times and for what duration) and from w…
The Development of Domiciliary Care
English The development of domiciliary care through the independent sector was central to the successful implementation of the 1993 community care changes. A considerable degree of success has been achieved: there has been substantial growth in the volume of home care hours funded by local authorities, all of it concentrated in the independent sector. As a result, the sector now provides more than two fifths of all local authority-funded home car…
Securing Quality Through Contracts? The Development of Quasi‐markets for Social Care in Britain
This article examines the early development in Britain of quasi‐markets for domiciliary care. Initially there were widespread doubts about the appropriateness of market mechanisms for social care because it was regarded as inherently different from other goods and services. We examine these differences and how they are most apparent in domiciliary care — which is provided to the most vulnerable people in the most vulnerable of settings. The study…
