Annotation	How have individual budgets (IBs) fared in rural areas? The author summarises the lessons from her recent study (researched with Martin Stevens) of the views of social care staff involved in implementation, published as 'The personalisation of adult social care in rural areas' (Commission for Rural Communities, 2008). She comments on the frequently mentioned changing nature of rural populations and communities, and difficulties of finding personal assistants and the transport costs associated with their employment. While rural social care services may benefit from personalisation, the question will be, at what cost? (RH).
