📖 Key Information
The Direct Payments scheme is a UK Government initiative in the field of Social Services which gives money directly to service users, enabling them to pay for their own care, rather than the traditional route of a Local Government Authority providing care for them. The Cabinet Office Strategy Unit calls direct payments "the most successful public policy in the area of social care".
Direct Payments are seen as making an important contribution to the independence, well being and quality of life of people with disabilities.
