| Annotation | While the option of independent living is central to the vision and the substantive policy proposals presented in the Green Paper, "Independence, well-being and choice" (Cm 6499; TSO, 2005), there is no definition of what independent living actually means. The British Council of Disabled People (BCODP) supports many of the ideas in the Green Paper, such as the proposed introduction of individualised budgets. BCODP also has concerns about the continuing lack of basic rights to receive support and to live independently in one's own home, and about the way in which the new vision will be financed and implemented.
