The Coordination of Service Delivery in the Mixed Economy of Welfare: Toward a Typology of Roles and Relationships

Abstract

Voluntary and Non‐Profit Organisations (VNPOs) in Europe are taking on increasing responsibility for the delivery of social services to local communities. In Britain this has resulted largely from the changing legislative context of public services, exemplified by the ‘purchase‐provider split’ in community care brought about by the recent NHS and Community Care Act.
