Abstract
When the National Assistance Act 1948 and the Children Act 1948 were passed into law, they created frameworks for residential care which lasted for more than three decades. As Minister of Health, Aneurin Bevan wanted to see old people be able to retire into residential care homes where they would be able to enjoy hotel standards - as against the workhouses then in use, with their reputation for harsh conditions and associations of humiliation for the residents. At the same time, local authorities were given wider powers to provide services for children.
