Questions from Community Care – A new alliance blooms

A new alliance blooms

By Gerald Wistow

* Is the status gap between social care and health professionals now closing?
* How can greater equality in status between the two services be achieved in the eyes of the public and the respective professionals?
* Is the appointment of ‘community matrons’ facilitating or hindering the development of holistic assessment and care planning arrangements in your experience? How can such appointments best support integrated care?
