The publication Caring for People: Community Care in the Next Decade and Beyond (DoH, 1989) sets out the Government's plans for community care and is the much awaited response of Government to Sir Roy Griffiths' report on community care. Many health districts have been doing all, if not more, than is recommended in the White Paper but this has been rather costly as far as the DSS funding is concerned. It should be remembered that the high cost of community care to the DSS was one major reason for Sir Roy being asked to investigate and report on such care.
