| Annotation | This paper considers the findings of the 'Evaluation of the Individual Budgets pilot programme' by the Individual Budgets Evaluation Network (IBSEN) and the extent to which the programme provide insights into ensuring that personal budgets will work well for older people. It also reports on advances made since the evaluation was conducted, notably some key messages and examples of practice from the IB sites about older people and personalisation. These include: the importance of whole system change; start from the person; small things make a difference; solutions need to be flexible and individual; there needs to be a choice in how the money is managed; and good support is essential. The paper also refers to another recent paper from the DH, 'Moving forward: using the learning from the Individual Budget pilots: response to the IBSEN evaluation from the Department of Health'.
