The main objective of this book is to provide a readable, comprehensive and accessible outline of the law governing health care. Its avoidance of excessive use of legal jargon, together with its groundbreaking emphasis on health and health care rather than merely medical law and ethics make the book particularly suitable for use by health professionals. However, it is fully referenced to legal materials and will also appeal to students and practitioners of law. The book sets out the law clearly and succinctly, examining the many areas of dispute over its interpretation but maintaining a non-partisan position.

"This title was first published in 2000: Caring for Older People provides a unique insight into the world of community care in the 1990's. It presents findings from a national study of social care from the perspectives of older service users, their carers and care managers. Descriptive findings from this longitudinal study - conducted by the PSSRU from 1994 and funded by the Department of Health - are set in the context of the history of community care and developments since the passage of the 1990 NHS and Community Care Act. The study's findings highlight important challenges for policy and practice development in the new millennium."--Provided by publisher.
