Now that the community care reforms are in force, care charities are increasingly involved in negotiating and financing contracts with local authorities and face a raft of unfamiliar issues. This work clearly explains how charity managers and their legal advisers can secure equitable and financially sound contracts for the provision of care in the community. It provides clear and practical guidance on all the legal and financial aspects of the new regime. It covers areas including: the funding of the system; the terms of contract between provider and authority; the extent of the provider's influence on the contract; how payments are made; and the relationship between the contract and quality assurance.
