| Annotation | From April 2003 every local council must offer people who need help to stay in their own home money instead of arranging services for them. These direct payments will enable people to choose how they organise the help needed in a flexible way. This guide offers advice to people who are planning to get direct payments from their local council. More detailed advice on direct payments is available from the Department of Health. There are three appendices, the first of which looks at employing staff and the other two are further information and other sources of help respectively. (KJ). |
