| Annotation | As life expectancy continues to rise and people's expectations of the services they receive also increase, it has become apparent that the current social care system is in need of an overhaul. In 2003, In Control recognised this need for fundamental changes to the system and launched its first pilot of individual budgets (IBs) and the concept of self-directed support. The author explains how these early ideas have developed into a clear and common purpose for the future of social care. (RH). |
