A must-have for social care managers to inspire and establish better practice. “This book wants reading for several reasons. It is a book from the heart and highly readable. It identifies straightforwardly, matter-of-factly and scathingly the mindless, blinkered and harmful bureaucracy which has infected and distorted the social and health care system. Yet, in the face of these identified evils, it cleaves to optimism and independence of thought throughout and a determination that things can, and must, change.” - Michael Mandelstam, Author
“Essential and recommended reading for anyone working within adult health and social care.” - Martin Vernon, Consultant Geriatrician and Clinical Director of Community Services
