Social rights and disability: the language of 'rights' in community care policies. The paper argues that what disabled people mean when they speak of 'rights' is relatively under-developed with regard to health and social services. Furthermore, while a claim of 'rights' is typically presented as a fairer alternative to the needs-based character of welfare policies, how such an approach would change the delivery of health and social care is unclear. The paper draws on a landmark test case in community care to explore the problems of a rights-based approach to social justice for disabled people. It demonstrates the weaknesses of rights, especially the more problematic 'social rights', and urges caution in seeking solutions to social problems through the courts. It ends by suggesting that, given the anecdotal evidence about local authorities' tightening their eligibility criteria in the light of the 'Gloucestershire case', that limits on coverage may be the trade-off for implementing rights. |
