Abstract	Background: A growing shortage of residential care for people with learning disabilities leads to placement funded by one authority in another authority's area. Such out-of-area placements are governed by guidance from different government departments in respect of different funding streams. Method: This paper presents an analysis of this guidance and shows that it is inconsistent and incomplete. Results and Conclusion: The guidance creates a framework of incentives for health and social services authorities that could lead to people being placed out-of-area against their own best interests, with negative consequences for them and for the "receiving" authorities. A companion paper uses interview data to examine the reasons for and effects of out-of-area placement. [For Part II, see EJ743961.] (Author).
