Reviews the government's Supporting People programme and examines how far it can succeed in its goal of promoting independent living. Argues that there are underlying inconsistencies in government policy, particularly the parts played by definitions of care, support and accommodation costs. Examines the Transitional Housing Benefit Scheme as a source of funding. Examines the risk of the creation of a new strand of charging and means-testing for services and argues for avoiding or minimising charges wherever possible.
