Download or read book Judicial Review in Northern Ireland written by Gordon Anthony and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 3rd edition of this leading text provides a detailed account of the purposes of judicial review; the nature of the public-private divide in Northern Ireland law; the judicial review procedure; the grounds for review; and remedies. As with the previous editions, the focus is on case law that is unique to Northern Ireland, and the book identifies some important differences between principle and practice in Northern Ireland and England and Wales. These now include differences resulting from the Ireland-Northern Ireland Protocol (as amended by the Windsor Framework), and this edition explains how and when EU law continues to apply in Northern Ireland. It also considers the leading Human Rights Act decisions of the Northern Ireland courts and the House of Lords and UK Supreme Court. The new edition refers to case law from the courts in England and Wales and Scotland; the Court of Justice of the European Union; and the European Court of Human Rights. There is a particular focus on recent rulings of the High Court and Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland and of rulings of the Supreme Court in cases heard on appeal from Northern Ireland. It considers the main points of the Judicial Review Practice Direction 03-2018 and surveys the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and its implications for Northern Ireland (including the incorporation of the Ireland-Northern Ireland Protocol, as amended by the Windsor Framework). The book will be of use to practitioners in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, and also to those involved in the study of judicial reasoning in different jurisdictions (both within the UK and elsewhere).
Download or read book Social Work in Northern Ireland written by Heenan, Deirdre and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 40 years, social work in Northern Ireland has been responsive to a number of changing contexts and environments. Throughout 'the Troubles,' social workers had to develop methods of ensuring services were delivered in spite of the surrounding violence and civil disturbance. At the same time, they developed imaginative and creative new services in response to needs and demands. This book outlines the historical development of social work in Northern Ireland, looking at what has been achieved and analyzing the challenges for the future. It considers the role of social work in a society emerging from conflict, facing demographic, technological, and economic changes. Social work in Northern Ireland has been dismissed by policy makers and academics as unique, special, or different, and therefore not worthy of attention. This book demonstrates that international audiences have much to learn from the social work response to a changing political landscape.

Download or read book Direct Payments and Personal Budgets written by Glasby, Jon and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of the Care Act 2014, this third edition of the leading textbook on personalisation considers key policy changes since 2009 and new research into the extension and outcomes of personal budgets. Direct payments and personal budgets have developed rapidly, transforming the whole of adult social care. In future, all care will be delivered via a personal budget, with direct payments as the default rather than the exception. As the concepts have spread from adult social care to other sectors, the changes have been controversial and difficult to implement. Front-line practitioners and people using services have struggled to make sense of these ways of working in a challenging financial and policy context. This accessible textbook is essential reading for students, practitioners and policy makers in social work and community care services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As social work adapts to the challenge of a mixed economy of welfare, this book offers a reassertion of the vital contribution of social work in the welfare structures of the 1990s. Drawing on the recent history of social work, Terry Bamford argues that the values of the profession can share a vigorous and creative response in smaller, more flexible employment structures. New strategies for organisation and training are advanced to equip social workers for a more entrepreneurial role.
Download or read book Essential Community Medicine written by R.J. Donaldson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This basic textbook of Community Medicine, which includes descriptions of the related social ~ervices, is intended for a wide range of readers who require knowledge and understanding of the essential aspects of the subject. These include undergraduate medical students and qualified doctors who are engaged in postgraduate courses of study or training schemes, particularly those in community medicine and general practice. When writing this book we also had in mi nd the needs of students of nursing at all levels at a time when an increasing emphasis on the community is being reflected in the content of curricula and the composition of examination papers. It is our view that this account of community medicine will also be of value to established practitioners -community physicians, community health doctors, senior nurses and health visitors - who wish to con solidate or update their knowledge. The growing involvement of the professions in the management and planning of health services means that many general practitioners, hospital doctors and nurses are being called upon to take a population perspective and to become acquainted with many of the concepts and issues discussed in this book. In addition, there are those professionals who work closely with medicine and nursing and have a common concern in providing care and promoting prevention -groups such as social workers and health education personnel. For all these reasons we would ho pe that many groups might read the book and find it useful.

Download or read book Fair Resource Allocation and Rationing at the Bedside written by Marion Danis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health systems need to set priorities fairly. In one way or another, part of this important task will fall to physicians. How do they make judgments about resource stewardship, and how should they do so? How can they make such decisions in a manner that is compatible with their clinical duties to patients? In this book, philosophers, bioethicists, physicians, lawyers and health policy experts make the case that priority setting and rationing contribute significantly to the possibility of affordable and fair healthcare and that clinicians play an indispensable role in that process. The book depicts the results of a survey of European physicians about their experiences with rationing and other cost containment strategies, and their perception of scarcity and fairness in their health care systems. Responding to and complementing these findings, commentators discuss why resource allocation and bedside rationing is necessary and justifiable. The book explores how bedside rationing relates to clinical judgments about medical necessity and medical indications, marginal benefits, weak evidence based medicine, off-label use. The book highlights how comparative studies of health care systems can advance more effective and fair bedside rationing through learning from one another. From a practical standpoint, the book offers a number of strategies for health care systems and clinicians to work in tandem to allocate and ration resources as fairly as possible: how to foster more attention to fairness when rationing at the bedside, how to avoid exacerbating health disparities when allocating resources, how to teach about bedside rationing to students, how to discuss rationing more explicitly in the public arena and in the doctor's office.

Download or read book Understanding the finance of welfare Second edition written by Glennerster, Howard and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2009-02-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: · How are hospitals, schools, GPs and social workers funded? How do the poor pay for their housing? · Is the tax payer prepared to pay adequate pensions to the growing numbers of old people? Will we all have to work longer? · Can western welfare states survive in an increasingly competitive world economy? These are some of the questions that the second edition of this best-selling textbook tries to answer. It begins by reviewing the range of ways in which basic human needs can be met and summarises in an accessible way the economic literature on why markets and even governments can fail in this respect. In a series of chapters Understanding the finance of welfare describes and assesses in detail the ways in which health care, personal social services, education, housing, pensions and social security are funded in the UK. In each case what happens in the UK is compared with the means used in other countries. Since demand always outruns supply, the book considers how these services are rationed and concludes by asking what future there is for the funding of western welfare states. Much has happened to the funding of social policy and the economy since the first edition of this book, especially in pensions and social care. New devolved assemblies have taken responsibility for setting social policy and their funding has become an issue. In response, much of the book has been revised and all the figures and tables have been updated. Understanding the finance of welfare has been designed to fit the needs of social policy student syllabuses where it has become an essential text. It is also important to students of public policy and economics and those training as teachers, medical students and social workers. But it will also be of interest to the general public because there is no more important political topic today than how social services are funded.
