The Health and Social Care Act 2008 provided for regulations extending direct payments. This consultation, held between August and November 2008, questioned people about revising the existing regulations to allow a greater number of people to take advantage of direct payments. The proposed recipients would be severely disabled children reaching their eighteenth year, adults with severe head injuries, some people with dementia and those subject to certain provisions in mental health and criminal justice legislation. This is all part of the government's Putting People First strategy and is aiming to ensure the balance between benefit from direct payment and safeguarding individuals lacking capacity.

It has been produced as a companion to the existing Fairer Charging guidance.

This report presents the findings of a consultation carried out by the Scottish Government on a new national strategy for self-directed support (SDS). The strategy describes (SDS) as a way for people to have informed choice about the way they get the support they need, with a range of options for using their individual budget to meet their assessed personal, social and in some cases their healthcare needs. The public consultation took place from 8 February 2010 until 21 May 2010, and a total of 146 written responses were received. Respondents were very supportive of the main aims and vision of the draft strategy, with a strong interest in the development of an action plan with clear milestones and delivery timescales. It was recognised that SDS should be guided by clear principles and support for a values framework that would underpin implementation of the strategy. Respondents agreed that there should be clear understanding and promotion of SDS across all partner agencies with a number of suggestions as to how this could be implemented.

The aim of personal health budgets is to give people more choice and control over their care, and help bring about a more personalised NHS. Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) are already able to offer personal health budgets that do not involve giving money directly to individuals. The Health Act 2009 amended the National Health Service Act 2006 (the NHS Act) to provide powers to allow personal budgets in the form of a direct payment as part of the DH pilot programme. Between October 2009 and January 2010, the Department of Health consulted on proposals for using the powers in the NHS Act to make regulations to enable pilot sites to use direct payments. This document describes the Government’s response to that consultation. The majority of respondents broadly supported proposals to pilot direct payments, and felt that the balance of detail proposed for regulations was right for the pilot phase. There was clear support for the three principles outlined: avoid being over-prescriptive; build on the experience of social care direct payments; and, develop guidance as well as regulations.

This consultation paper sets out the key criteria that will allow governments and healthcare systems to democratise access and deliver prevention. Prevention can substantially improve society’s health and wellbeing by reducing morbidity and increasing the number of years spent in good health; it provides value for money and returns on investment in both the short- and long-term, and contributes to the sustainability of our healthcare systems; it can benefit economies by helping people continue to work and consume in later life. However, for preventative services to fully deliver these benefits, we must ensure democracy of access. As it stands, we know that many preventative services don’t reach everyone equally. Lack of access to vital preventative services contributes to a widening of health inequalities. This has become even more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has served to further expose and amplify these inequalities. The document identifies five key criteria for democratising access to preventative healthcare: make prevention convenient; ensure that cost is no barrier; tailor prevention; improve health literacy through co-production; and address ageism. The paper offers examples of good practice by healthcare systems, private companies and third-sector organisations that have democratised access to prevention by using each of these criteria.

This green paper sets out a vision for a new care and support system. It highlights the challenges faced by the current system and the need for radical reform, to develop a National Care Service that is fair, simple and affordable for everyone. Six main areas of improvement are set out in this proposal for a National Care Service; prevention services; assessment on a national level; a joined-up service; provision of information and advice; personalised care and support; and fair funding between different regions. Different options for funding the future care system are also put forward. This paper sets out some questions for consultation which are echoed in a series of public consultation events entitled 'The Big Care Debate', taking place in late 2009.
