This is a press release that was sent to the newspapers and radio

The government has published a paper called 'Independence, Well-being and Choice'.

We have been working with the government about the future of social care.

We think it is good that the government is positive about individual support.

Su Sayer from United Response said:

"We think the paper is good.

"Individualised budgets are a good step to giving people more power over the support they receive.

"But the government must look at the benefits system.

"Many people still have problems finding work.

"The government must also help us to get more money for people who support others.

"This will help us get the best support for people."
