Social services have adopted a direct payments scheme - that is the department gives the service user money to purchase care. My understanding is that a contract will exist - so a local authority will not have any responsibility for the actions of the service users chosen care provider.
Can anyone throw any light on this - my question is "what health and safety responsibilities exist for the authority providing the money"?

I suspect that the only remaining legal duties will arise from local government and social care legislation rather than health and safety law and that, as such, a detailed response may be outside the normal areas of expertise of most contributors to this forum. Do any Social Services Department readers have any light to throw on this one?
