It has set a target that it all adults eligible for services are to be given a personal budget in order they can purchase services to meet their needs by 2013. Although this has been generally welcomed by service user groups, there have been reservations expressed that this provision may further disadvantage some individual service user’s in particular older people experiencing dementia.
