CARING IN CRISIS - GILLIAN DALLEY KARTONIERT (TB)

This book examines a familiar and contemporary social policy issue-the crisis besetting social
care-but differs from usual accounts by including additional perspectives (philosophical 
ethical and political) not often raised but nonetheless crucial to understanding the issue. Its
central argument is that while a health care divide dates back to legislative separation at the
inception of the welfare state in the 1940s  the major cause of the current crisis has been the
slow but insidious ideological and practical splitting off and fracturing of social care from
other state welfare institutions  notably the NHS  and its consequent entrapment in the
treacherous straits of 'profit and loss'  self-interest and individualism. These issues and
others  the book argues  contribute to the building of a strong case for bringing social care
into the public sector. Towards the end  the book goes on to consider the impact  from 2020  of
the Covid 19 pandemic on a caring crisis that was already well-established. The consequences of
this global shock are still working through and are likely to be profound. Solutions  as the
book describes  which were already being formulated prior to the arrival of the pandemic  are
even more salient now. The book will therefore be of interest to students and researchers of
social policy and public policy  health and social care professionals and policymakers - and
users of social care themselves.
