| Annotation | The Community Care (Direct Payments) Act 1996 allows local authorities to offer disabled people cash in lieu of care services, a facility now also available to older people and carers. The study reported in these findings explored the range of practice and experience in the delivery of direct payments in three local authorities in North East England. It was prompted by evidence that implementation of direct payments is, on average, slower in this region than in others. Hosted by Disability North, the Direct Payments North project covered two local government regions: Yorkshire and Humberside; and the North East. The full report, 'Making direct payments work: identifying and overcoming barriers to implementation' by Frances Haler with Angela Stewart, is published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by Pavilion Publishing, from whom a supplementary booklet, 'Smooth routes to direct payments' is also available.
