Direct Payments: Commentary and Review

Abstract

Local authorities have a duty to listen to service users but, with notable exceptions, have not done so in relation to the provision of direct payments to people with learning disabilities. The paper proposes some measures that would help raise the level of such provision, and discusses the use of Independent Living Trusts.
