AnnotationSets out the Government's view of what local authorities should do if they choose to exercise power given to them by the Act. Social services departments will be able to make direct cash payments to some individuals in lieu of community care services they have been assessed as needing, to enable them to secure for themselves the relevant services. The practice guide advises on how local authorities might implement the Act. The consultation (until 10 January 1997) covers England only (there are separate consultations for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
