Direct Payments Wales

Direct Payments Wales is a system that allows individuals in Wales who need support due to health, disability, or social care needs to receive funding directly. Instead of services being provided for them, they are given a set amount of money to arrange and manage their own care, services, or support arrangements. This empowers individuals to choose the types of care that best suit their needs and preferences, promoting independence and personalized support. The scheme is carefully managed to ensure funds are used appropriately and to support individuals in leading more autonomous lives.
