AnnotationThe government's proposals on individual budgets challenge stereotypes about age and have a lot to offer in delivering better services. However, an emphasis on choice should be accompanied by a clearer focus on improving health and promoting well-being of older people. The author refers to the Green Paper, "Independence, well-being and choice" (Cm 6499), and puts the case for offering more choice via individualised budgets, together with an expansion of low level preventive health services.
