| Annotation | The Government's Supporting People Programme aims to redirect current funding for services to help people live independently, so that local authorities and their partners can plan and deliver support services in a more consistent and accountable way. In his full report, "Supporting people all the way: an overview of the 'Supporting People' programme" (YPS, 2000), the author considers how the Programme strengthens support for independent living or whether there are gaps in the proposed provision. This issue of Findings summarises the research, and the outlines proposals for promoting independent living, which are: breaking the link between registration and its financial consequences; ensuring equity in charging; abolishing support charges for temporary provision; and establishing a common approach to the treatment of disability benefits.
