Foundations for Self-directed SupportThere are things to choose

from

Strategic commissioning makes a wider range of

support options available to people

People have resource

Financial resources are allocated to people in a fair and transparent way

People have information

There is better access to information services for people who are eligible

for care and support and, where appropriate, the

wider population

People know where to get information

Supported people are

more aware of the information services

available to them to help them to make their choice and manage their support
