Dear Mr Greenhalgh
Freedom of Information Request 68526
I refer to your request for information which fell under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) in which you requested the following:
How many individuals in total receive a Personal Budget within the boroughs under your remit?
We do not currently have any service users on personal budgets, although the transformation team has now been put in place and we expect some clients to be in receipt of personal budgets during 2009/10. For the purpose of the FOI request, the table below illustrates the number of clients in receipt of direct payments for 2008/09:
Age band |
Receiving Direct Payments 08/09 |
18-64 |
599 |
65-74 |
87 |
75-84 |
111 |
85+ |
120 |
Total |
917 |
What percentage of these individuals are on the Personalisation programme? And is your target 33%
The % is 30% of community based clients should receive self directed support.
