Article Abstract:
Community care has developed from the need to offer cost-effective accessible health care. A United Kingdom Audit Commission report in 1986 suggested more effective use could be made of current resources. Sir Roy Griffiths' review of community care funding culminated in the Griffith's report, 1988. The report recommended social service assessment of community needs and the purchase of services accordingly. The Community Care White Paper followed in 1989. Its proposals were embodied in the National Health Service and Community Care Act, 1990. However, limited resources suggest that the idealistic aims of community care will not be met.
