Hi
It is now ten years since the introduction of direct payments
legislation in the UK via the 1996 Community Care (Direct Payments) Act.
List members may be interested in a new paper from our ESRC project
comparing the implementation of direct payments for disabled people in
different parts of the UK over that time. This one is based on
interviews with 102 officers working in local authorities and trusts in
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and provides an overview
of the different kinds of national/regional opportunities and pressures
affecting local policy and provision.

available online at the project web page:

Best wishes
Mark
