Although I’ve not heard great deal about his directly, I am of the understanding that very soon, individuals will be given their own budgets for care and related equipment and be able to spend this how they see fit. I’m also hearing a lot of consistent criticism of this scheme and it all seems quite obvious. Where is the benefit in distributing budget in this way? I guess the outcome is that lots of individuals will buy equipment which only they will use. Then what? This seems a very unworkable plan to me which will deliver much poorer value for money and fragment the delivery of care. I’d really like people to get this concept under their skin and make a lot of noise about it if it is as rediculous as it appears to be. I suspect the only winner may be ebay.
