New Direct Payment Regulations
Added: 11/11/2009
Updated: 30/06/2010
The new regulations for Direct Payments came into force on the 9th of November 2009. To coincide with this change, Cheryl Lewis and Marcia White on behalf of the Personalisation team have thoroughly overhauled the Direct Payments Solution set and it can now be located in the Personalisation toolkit under the topic heading Direct Payments.
The Direct Payments Solution Set is an online resource aimed at sharing what works through examples and resources produced by people with experience. It will help others promote and provide direct payments, both where personal budgets are available and where They have yet to be introduced. Originally developed to complement the Increasing Uptake of Direct Payments project (DH, 2006), the Solution Set will now be updated regularly to take account of both the recent extension of Direct Payments Extension 2009 and the ongoing development of Personal Budgets.
It is hoped that the new layout will prove more user friendly with the aim to continuously improve it by providing more up to date examples of what works.
