Set within a national context, this book reviews the historical development and measurement issues of performance indicators within social care and the public sector for older people. It will be of particular interest in the UK for local service providers who are developing approaches for local performance review but will also be of interest internationally, especially in countries where services for older people are currently developing in a similar direction.
