| Annotation | This article challenges local authorities, primary care trusts (PCTs) and other funding bodies to reflect on the efficacy and the justice of the way they allocate funds for individual care. It describes how greater cost-effectiveness is being combined with better care in a number of authorities where a new approach is being piloted. The article follows up on a contribution to the special issue of the Journal of Integrated Care in December 2001 which focused on user empowerment, and aims to take thinking beyond the implementation of direct payments.
