AnnotationThe Government's vision for social care highlights choice and control by individuals. This paper draws on findings from the author's study for the King's Fund, "Commissioning care services for older people: achievements and challenges in London". It considers how far collaborative commissioning is ready to meet the challenges of ensuring a diverse menu of flexible, integrated services for people using either direct payments or individual budgets. It concludes that more needs to be done to build commissioning skills, while other investment in developing the care market will be needed to deliver the aspirations of the 2005 Green Paper, "Independence, well-being and choice".
