Abstract
One aspect of the changes taking place within the local governance of welfare is the way in which those who have been seen as passive recipients of services are taking part in their production. This has been enabled by changes within welfare systems which have separated the purchase from the production of services and by policies which have emphasised consumer responsiveness. But it has also been the result of self-organisation on the part of service users. It is this which formed the subject of our study: ‘Consumerism and Citizenship amongst Users of Health and Social Care Services’.
