The attempt to introduce market principles into health and social care has prompted concern and confusion. This text seeks to put contemporary concerns within a wider analysis, by examining the nature of quasi-markets and their application to both health care and social care. Official prescription is contrasted with implementational dilemmas. Although the book offers some suggestions on reconciling market and welfare ideologies, it warns that users could easily end up bearing the cost of a simplistic attachment to the virtues of the private sector.

Clients, Consumers or Citizens?: The Privatisation of Adult Social Care in England

<p>Adult social care was the first major social policy domain in England to be transferred from the state to the market. There is now a forty-year period to look back at to consider the thinking behind the strategy, the impacts on commissioners and providers of care, on the care workforce and on those who use care and support services. In this book, Bob Hudson meticulously charts these shifts. He challenges the dominant market paradigm, explores alternative models for a post-Covid-19 future and locates the debate within the wider literature on political thinking and policy change.</p>
