Moving care ‘closer to home’ – whether through supporting informal care, adjusting the boundaries
between hospital-based and community care, or attempting to integrate health and social care – has
been an ambition of almost every government since 1948. In this seminar I will explore some of the
history behind the most recent attempts to achieve this policy goal, especially as it relates to
adults and children with long-term needs, and ask how, if at all, policy development has been
linked to research evidence.
