Abstract
ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the mechanisms whereby the needs and interests
of carers might be integrated into the service delivery system. Over the
last decade, informal care has emerged as a major subject for research
and discussion, and much work has been undertaken exploring the
experiences, burdens and needs of carers. Carers are increasingly
recognised as central to community care, but little work has so far
addressed the means whereby their needs and interests might be
integrated within mainstream service provision. The mechanisms for
achieving this are underdeveloped. This paper puts forward six possible
strategic responses, and discusses the merits and demerits of each. The
responses are: taking evaluation a step further; consumerism; case
management; performance or service indicators; rights; and targets.
The issues raised in the discussion
