Direct Payments Survey Reports

The results of the survey are published in two separate reports.

The first report, Direct Payments Survey: A national survey of direct payments policy and practice, describes the results of the survey of local authorities. This is is available in PDF format (954KB), with bookmarks and live table of contents page to aid navigation. The executive summary is available separately (252KB).

The second report, Schemes Providing Support to People Using Direct Payments: A UK Survey, presents the findings of the survey of organisations providing direct payments support. This is also available to download as the full volume (1.07MB) or just the executive summary (332KB).

If you would like a printed (in monochrome) and bound version of either of these reports (price 12 UK pounds each including post and packing in the UK), please download and complete an order form for the local authority or support organisation report or contact Anji Mehta at PSSRU, London School of Economics, telephone 020-7955-6238. Print versions of the support organisations report will be dispatched from the end of March 2008.
