Changing governance, changing needs interpretations: implications for universalism

Abstract: Purpose -The paper seeks to explore how universal welfare arrangements based on needs testing may change and assume different institutional forms. Drawing attention to Norwegian home care, the paper explores how established interpretations of needs and associated notions of equity among needs have been challenged by shifting modes of governance.

“…In the late 1980s and early 1990s, home care was typically organised in local service teams providing services for the population of a specific geographical area. Home care teams were based on a collegial organisation, characterised by flexible and broadly defined jobs, vertical communication, and practitioners and managers working co‐operatively (Vabø 2011a). Decision‐making power was decentralised, not only to skilled nurses and auxiliary nurses, but also to lower‐skilled home helpers who spent more time with clients and thereby acquired first‐hand knowledge of the everyday life of clients.…”

“…Tidligere studier har vist at bestiller−utfører-organisering har medført at tildelingen skjer etter mer standardiserte kriterier (Vabø, 2011;Vabo & Burau, 2011). I denne artikkelen har jeg vist hvordan en slik standardisering av kriterier gjør seg gjeldende i saksbehandlernes praksis gjennom deres aktivering av sjefstekstene om nødvendige tjenester og laveste effektive omsorgsnivå.…”

“…Samarbeidet mellom saksbehandlere og utførere blir således en følge av den sosiale organiseringen av tildeling av tjenester. Som også Vabø (2011) skriver, kan behov derfor ikke ses som noe objektivt, men må ses som et produkt av en sosial prosess, der institusjonelle føringer og mennesker som tolker og forvalter dem, inngår. For de pårø-rende som forsøker å forstå hvordan behov omgjøres til vedtak, kan imidlertid det utstrakte samarbeidet medvirke til at det fremstår som noe uklart hvem som egentlig gjør vurderingen av behovet.…”
