本文探讨了英国老年人正式护理中最近发生的变化和目前正在引入的变化。这些都是所有福利国家走向福利多元化的总趋势的一部分，但除此之外，英国还代表着一个特例，因为激进的意识形态引擎推动了国家角色的重组。文章第一部分概述了主要变化——私营部门的推动、公共社会服务的剩余化以及国家在老年人护理方面的新管理角色。第二部分考虑这些变化对老年人及其非正式帮助者（或照顾者）的影响。结论既涉及英国正在发生的具体变化，也涉及一般意义上的福利多元化作为政策目标。
This article examines recent changes and those currently being introduced in the formal care of older people in the United Kingdom. These are part of a general trend in all welfare states towards welfare pluralism but, in addition, the United Kingdom represents something of a special case because of the radical ideological engine that has driven the restructuring of the role of the state. The first part of the article outlines the main changes--the promotion of the private sector, the residualization of the public social services, and the new managerial role of the state in the care of older people. The second part considers the implications of these changes for older people and their informal helpers (or caregivers). The conclusion refers to both the particular changes taking place in the United Kingdom and, in general terms, to welfare pluralism as a policy goal.
