Description
Adult social care was the first major social policy domain in England to be transferred to the market. Over the past forty years, this shift has had significant impacts on commissioners, providers, the care workforce, and those who use care and support services. In this book, Bob Hudson examines the thinking behind the strategy, challenges the dominant market paradigm, and explores alternative models for a post-Covid-19 future. He locates the debate within the wider literature on political thinking and policy change. By meticulously charting these shifts, Hudson provides a nuanced understanding of the adult social care sector and its ongoing evolution.
