Stewart, J.
Taking stock; scottish social welfare after devolution - Oxford The Policy Press 2004 - iv, 171p.
Examines social welfare in Scotland since devolution. Focuses on the politics of welfare during and after the devolution process; poverty and inequality; and the two single most important powers devolved to the Edinburgh Parliament, education and health. Looks at why social welfare issues were central to the devolution process in Scotland; explores the particular social and financial circumstances in which Scottish policy makers operate; reviews and assesses Scottish policies for children, education and lifelong learning; examines health policy, including care for older people, an especially controversial example of 'policy divergence' from England; provides an overview of the Scottish welfare state is as it is, and discusses how it might develop in the future.
