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

The paper is called 'Our health, our care, our say: a new direction in community services'.

United Response thinks it is a good way to make social care more modern.

Su Sayer from United Response said:

"The government has written that it thinks the health sector and the social care sector should work together.

"We agree with this and think that we will give people the best services if we work together.

"We hope that this will mean real choices for people.

"We think that direct payments and individual budgets will help give people more choice.

"We hope this will put people in control.

"We support people with mental health needs. We think that we should make sure there are services in the community.

"We want to work with government and the health care sector to provide a better service for the people we support."
