| Annotation | Direct payments were introduced eleven years ago, but few people who are eligible to use them do so. The author analyses the obstacles to higher uptake of direct payments from the points of view of professionals and users, and suggests ideas for good practice in access. The possibility of direct payment "champions" who can speak up for and represent the needs of particular care groups is suggested. (RH). |
