Numbers of SDS users
Dear Perth and Kinross Council,
Could you provide me with data for the following FOI request:
What are the total number of users currently receiving Self directed support for each of the four options?
The four self directed support options are as follows:
option 1 - a direct payment, which is a payment to a person or third party to purchase their own support.
option 2 - the person directs the available support.
option 3 - the local council arranges the support.
option 4 - a mix of the above.
Many thanks,
Charlotte Pearson
