Everyone is talking about Personal Budgets and making choices to select exactly what service you want. Here is our question-and-answer guide to what it all means. (Reproduced by kind permission of Estuary League of Friends)

Q: Why are people being offered Personal Budgets?

A: A Personal Budget is to make you aware of the value of your care and support. Devon Adult Community Services will work with you, allowing you to make choices about how your care and support is provided. If you wish, you can take total control.

Q: Who gets a Personal Budget?

A: A Personal Budget is available to people who, after an assessment of needs and financial position, are eligible for support from Devon Adult Community Services (which is part of Devon County Council).
