Shows how disabled people do not make clear distinctions between 'health' and 'social' care. Through direct payments, they are able to control and integrate into their daily routines a wide range of health-related activities, such as physiotherapy and nursing tasks, in ways which offer increased independence and better quality of life, compared with conventional health services.

This book explores how direct payments can improve further the integration of services from the perspectives of the users and providers involved.
