Good thought piece. This is my personal opinion and not necessarily that of Jewish Care for whom I work. What will be needed if people with dementia are to access the direct payment scheme is a middle tier of facilitation organisations. This would introduce another level of administration which needs to be considered in assessing the financial viabilty of the whole system.
