"This year, Demos is building on that original research, working with nine more local authorities to gather data from existing and potential personal budget holders: generating the largest database of personal budget market intelligence in the country. We estimate our sample will include 2,200 care uses by the end of 2010."

Publication from Demos: "This pamphlet examines the reforms to welfare benefits announced in the Emergency Budget and in the forthcoming Spending Review and concludes that the impact on disabled people has not been fully considered."

Great post from David Kane on open data and the voluntary sector.
