As a broker i find that while local authorities/statutary bodies etc genuinely seem to believe that giving the power to the individual can provide much better outcomes, the inherent inbuilt paternalistic approach, albeit borne from both a desire to keep people safe and the legal requirement to meet needs, results in many adopting a half way approach. This results in oddities such as authorities only offering onternal brokerage, spendingmoney an market evelopment and then enforcing approved provider lists which exclude these new micro enterprises.....However, it remains m hope that the momentum that has been generated so far, coupled wih inititives such as yours, the open letter you mentioned and the work being done by TLAP will help.....like i said ....fingers crossed!<br />Laura Newcombehttp://www.northstarpartnerships.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169740113013066976.post-18032823830181266742013-03-05T03:29:50.019+00:002013-03-05T03:29:50.019+00:00What happens to the person if their "personal...What happens to the person if their "personal budget" is exhausted before the end of year etc?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
