Consultation process

The work on self directed has built upon an earlier trial undertaken last year with a group of volunteer customers.  The RAS is being tested by the completion of 200 questionnaires with existing customers between June and September 2010.  A live trial of self directed support is scheduled for October 2010 for approximately 20 new customers in East Wiltshire.
