Individualised Funding, it sounds great but what is it exactly and when will it be rolled out in Northland?
Individualised Funding provides the opportunity for some disabled people to manage the personal support services they require in the way that they believe meets their needs best. It is an opportunity that, up to now, most disabled people assessed as needing support services in New Zealand have not been offered.
We are going to publish an in-depth feature on our website into various anomalies involved in the roll-out of Individualised Funding.
If you live in Northland and have been waiting for Individualised Funding, we would like to hear your story.
