| Annotation | Scotland's government is pledging to make self-directed support central to social care, having published its own consultation in February 2010. The proposed strategy has 26 recommendations, and as in England, it promotes the use of individual budgets (IBs). The strategy will be informed by tests sites in Glasgow, Dumfries and Galloway, and Highland, which will be trialling different aspects of self-directed support until January 2011. The article includes a case study on Glasgow, where a pilot scheme began in 2003 testing provision of individual budgets to people with learning disabilities. (RH). |
