The Individual Budget Pilot Programme finished on 31 December 2007.

The Individual Budgets Evaluation Network - drawn from the Social Policy Research Unit, the Personal Social Services Research Unit and Kings College - will deliver its report in Spring 2008.

Following the launch of Putting People First on 10 December 2007, Individual Budgets remain an important part of the government's agenda to give people who use public services more choice and control.

Find out what is happening now the pilot has finished - including an update on a new resource toolkit - on our "What is next?" page.
