Some Concluding Thoughts • The value of information
• Monitoring progress (direct payments and self-directed support, home care, health checks)
• Identifying persistent problems (employment, inclusive education)
• Documenting inequality (local variation)
• If only …….• It was joined up• It told us about outcomes• It allowed disaggregation by gender, age,
ethnicity …..
• We are unique!
