Historically when there was money in the pot, carers would be given a direct payment and they would use it a bit like extra income on ‘pamper days etc’. Whereas in todays financial climate, councils have turned to meeting need through replacement care like respite and day care, and offering access to ‘universal (grant funded) services’ that offer things like pamper sessions to carers’ which aren’t considered direct provision in the same way.

It would be interesting to know how councils spend on replacement care provision has changed as well. I suspect this may have also declined, but not to the same degree.
