Abstract or Description

The post-war welfare state is the institutional representation of values that stand in direct opposition to those of the enterprise culture. It is not surprising, therefore, that the 1980s has seen a series of government initiatives in the health and social services attempting to 'roll back', contain and restructure the provision of state welfare. There have been major developments in all areas of social policy including housing, education and social security, but in order to retain a sharp focus, this chapter will only assess the impact of government initiatives on the restructuring of the health and social services.
