AnnotationThis article outlines the idea of an individual budget, which is now being promoted and tested by central government. It defines the idea, and describes the practical and policy consequences that may flow from its implementation. It also sets out some of the policy choices that will necessarily emerge from these developments. It further notes that an individual budget is not an alternative to a direct payment: rather, the direct payment is one of the ways in which an individual budget can be managed. This article follows on from an earlier article by the author, "Individual budgets: transforming the allocation of resources for care" (Journal of Integrated Care, February 2005). (RH).
