I suspect the term was first coined in Tipton for the Neptune Health
Park and is really referring to a multi-agency resouce centre including
all services health, social, voluntary and local authority built on
the same site. This was to compare it with business parks.
This was originally a solution for Tipton which was to have been considered for
other inner city areas. It is quite obvious however that local solutions
have to be the answer and these will vary. A single building answer to all our
present community care problems is not possible. It requires a great
deal of cooperation and commitment to working together.
