| Annotation | Direct payments increase the choice and control that people have over the support they receive. The take-up of direct payments by people experiencing mental health problems has been extremely low in may parts of the country. This project, New Directions, was undertaken by the Health and Social Care Advisory Service (HASCAS). It draws on a range of discussions with more than 250 service users and staff, the aim being to identify what needs to happen for direct payments to be implemented successfully. These findings summarise the full report, "Direct payments and mental health: new directions", by Karen Newbigging and Janice Lowe, and published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by Pavilion Publishing. The report on the national evaluation, "Implementing direct payments in mental health: an evaluation", by H Spandler and N Vick, is available from Centrevents. (RH). |
