Abstract
The Griffiths Report (1988) paid little attention to housing issues and merely stated that the responsibilities of housing agencies should be limited to arranging and sometimes managing the ‘bricks and mortar’ of housing need for community care purposes (p. 15). However, the White Paper on community care (Department of Health, 1989a) differed considerably from the Griffiths Report in this respect. ‘Suitable good quality housing’ was seen as essential to social care packages (p. 9) and it was argued that ‘social services authorities will need to work closely with housing authorities, housing associations and other providers of housing of all types in developing plans for a full and flexible range of housing’ (p. 25).
