这篇论文会简要概述英国的残疾人社会保障和社会护理的提供情况。会涉及到对现任的工党政府所提供的社会护理的最新评述，以及其对残疾人社会融入的未来影响，包括已经觉察到的这些提案可能会产生的一些未来负面影响。这包括残疾人面临的贫困水平的上升，保障长期就业的困难的净增长，以及残疾人在主流社会的逐渐边缘化。这篇论文也讨论了为残疾人提供“个人化预算”的趋势，目的在于让他们能够购买适合于他们自己的特定需求的、他们自己的护理套餐。此外，这篇论文会揭示当前隆纳济世助残政策和运动部所进行的关于社会护理和服务的有效性的研究的成果。

CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND SOCIAL POLICY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Dr Raymond Lang

Honorary Senior Research Fellow

Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Development Centre, University College London

This paper will provide a brief overview of the provision of social security and social care provision for people with disabilities in the United Kingdom. Reference will be made to the recent review of social care provision undertaken by the current Labour administration, and the future implications that this has for the social inclusion of people with disabilities, including some of the perceived future negative impact that these proposals may have. These include increased levels of poverty encountered by people with disabilities, net increase in difficulty in securing long-term employment, and the increasing tendency for people with disabilities to be marginalised within mainstream society. The paper also examine the trends in providing people with disabilities with "personalised budgets", so as to enable them to buy in their own care packages, that are tailored to their own specific needs. In addition, this paper will present the result of current research undertaken by the Policy and Campaigns Department of Leonard Cheshire Disability regarding the effectiveness of social care and provision.
