Over the rainbow: direct payments and social inclusion
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 02:22 authored by Jed DonoghueJed Donoghue, Taylor, ChrisThis paper examines the impact of direct payments on social isolation. We define what social isolation means, and then evaluate the role of direct payments in the provision of social services in the United Kingdom. Social isolation is a particular problem for older people. In Australia there are an increasing number of older residents who are isolated, but would benefit from having greater choice in terms of how they access and receive social services. Increased access to direct payments could help to reduce waiting lists for traditional social services and address gaps in service provision. © 2010 AHHA.
