Community care in England and France: reforms and the improvement of equity and efficiency

This volume breaks new ground by comparing systems from a new perspective and describing contemporary reform argument and proposals for the first time in the English language.

It presents new evidence from the most ambitious collection and analysis of quantative data so far made for the comparison of the two countries (based on matched area samples collecting comparable information about cohorts of new users on two or more occasions).

It also shows how the need-related circumstances of users differ between countries and within each country between areas.
