The community care White Paper "Caring for People" indicates a radical change in this important element of social policy. The White Paper raises many issues about the way in which social care will be planned and delivered in future decades. Based upon ten papers delivered at the 1990 British Society of Gerontology Annual Conference, this text examines aspects of the community care reforms as they affect older people, the largest single consumers of social care services.
