Description

This seminal work by Martin Bulmer examines the foundational assumptions underlying community care policy for elderly, disabled and mentally-ill populations. Originally published in 1987, the book identifies critical gaps in government social care policy and challenges the sociological premises that shape care delivery. Bulmer argues that current policy frameworks lack adequate theoretical grounding, resulting in potential inefficiencies and inadequate provision for vulnerable groups. Essential for anyone studying or working in social care organisation and delivery, this Routledge Revivals edition makes the author's influential analysis accessible to contemporary students, practitioners and academics. The text remains relevant for understanding how community-based care systems function and where policy improvements are needed to better serve those requiring social support.
