Description
The new national guidance on self-directed support is issued under Section 5(1) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 and replaces earlier guidance on direct payments issued on 20 June 2003. It is designed to improve take-up of self-directed support and fulfils the recommendation made by the Parliamentary Health Committee at the Care Inquiry into the implementation of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) 2001 and the Health and Community (Scotland) Act 2002.
