| Research Abstract |
In determining the future direction of health and social services, any nation including Japan and the UK needs to consider the underlying processes of socio-econmic development and accurate assess its circumstances. Policy proposals should be based on scientific analysis of both historical and present development. This is because the nature of health and social services in any country is necessarily governed by socio-economic conditions so that contradictions in society will often be reflected and/or reproduced in health and social service programmes.

Health issues are not purely a matter of medical research : rather they represent an important research subject for other areas of science, particularly social sicences.
It is necessary to reform health and social service programmes because it is very difficult for many people to make provisions for life after retirement under the present situation of society. At the same time, it is vital to improve and expand health and welfare related facilities to satisfy the needs of the elderly. It is desirable to satisfy diversified needs of diversified persons and groups, there being a wide range of freedom of choice. Before that, however, die basic needs of life that are common to all, needs based not on absolute but on relative criteria, must be met in both Japan and the UK. Less
