Research study looking at recent developments in services for people with learning difficulties, which mean that services are independent of housing. These separate arrangements are supposed to give people greater choice and independence, but it could be argued that housing and support need to be inter-related if people are to enjoy a 'seamless' service. The study looks at 11 housing and support services and concludes that service values rather than contract specifications and purchase arrangements actually have most impact on people's daily lives.
