Devon County Council is continuing to personalise adult social care, giving people more choice and control so they are better able to help themselves, which also allows financial resources to be targeted at those with the greatest needs.  

We have introduced Personal Budgets to give people choice and control over their care and support, by letting them know exactly what different options cost.

For more detail you can refer to the Putting People First web pages, in the first instance.
