Abstract
Last April the United Kingdom's system for providing community care--practical and social care for ill and disabled people who need help with daily life--was changed in an effort to make it better and more efficient. The BMJ ran a series of articles about the changes that included descriptions of community care in four places: Gwent in Wales, Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, Northern Ireland, and Newcastle in north east England. In this and the next three articles we look at what has happened to community care over the past year in these places.
