Thursday 23 October 2025, 10am to 12pm
With Elaine Greenwood (Direct Payments Manager, Adult Social Care, Integrated Care & Public Health for Merton)
Elaine Greenwood and colleagues will be explaining and updating us on the Direct Payments Scheme, plus the progress so far on Merton’s PA recruitment tool, which aims to streamline and ease the process of locating a PA for your cared for adult.
What are Direct Payments
If your cared for family member qualifies for support from social services after completing a needs assessment, you can (if certain criteria are met) choose to receive direct payments from the local authority to directly buy the assessed services your loved one needs to meet their needs. This is instead of receiving the services directly from the council via a commissioned service.
Hear the latest news, ask your questions & raise any issues you may be experiencing using Direct Payments. and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the latest information and ask your questions!
