title: NHS plan. Exclusive offer?
abstract: Little consideration has been given to the proposals for social care in the NHS plan. The emphasis on social services' role in unblocking hospital beds ignores their responsibilities to the whole community. The plan is ambiguous on health improvement. There is a risk of health promotion being sidelined.
