dc.description.abstract	At a time of increasing concern as to how best to care for the growing elderly population in Britain, this thesis examines the spatial distribution of residential care and sheltered housing for this group of the population. With the present government policies of reducing public expenditure and reliance on State welfare services, the main focus of the thesis is on the changing role of the voluntary sector and in particular on its geographical distribution. Little is known about the size and scope of the voluntary sector in Britain, still less about the operation of such organisations in service provision.
