Michael Mandelstam has provided independent legal training for over 20 years. Prior to this he worked at the Department of Health and, before that, at the Disabled Living Foundation. He has written many legal books on social care and health care matters. He holds postgraduate qualifications in law, information studies and the history of science and medicine.
1. Introduction.; 2. How Community Care Works.; 3. Things Going Wrong: Legal Principles and Remedies.; 4. Assessment of Need and Services.; 5. Care Homes.; 6. Services at Home.; 7. Informal Carers.; 8. Personalisation and Direct Payments.; 9. Asylum, Immigration: Social and Health Care.; 10. Ordinary Residence: Identifying Responsibility for Providing Services.; 11. Home Adaptations for Daily Living.; 12. National Health Service: Provision of Services.; 13. NHS Continuing Health Care.; 14. Mental Capacity, Human Rights and Disability Discrimination.; 15. Health and Safety at Work Legislation and Negligence Law.
Weaving thorough the complexities of health and social care provision - particularly funding - is a path that many community nurses and social workers will be familiar with. This book, although brief, sets out the key issues in Mandelstam's succinct, clear and robust style. By his own admission, it cannot cover everything but it does make an admirable attempt to clarify key topics such as continuing care through to asylum and immigration.
