| Annotation | Those who use health and social care services need to be confident that they will be able to have a say in how these services are shaped and that their wishes will be taken into account. This paper looks at how the 2006 White Paper, "Our health, our care, our say" (Cm 6737) could be delivered, focusing on four particular areas for putting older people in control: advice, information and advocacy; prevention; Individual Budgets and Direct Payments; and telecare. It reviews progress on the White Paper's commitments; discusses the role of the third sector in delivering these commitments alongside the statutory and private sectors; and makes recommendations to central and local government, service providers, and those who commission services.
