28 April 2008, Discovery Centre, Winchester
10:00-13:00 - Public session to hear the evidence 14:00-16:30 - Closed session

For this session we asked for information on people's experiences of personalisation, or the lack of it, in adult social care services. We asked for people's ideas on how personalisation can be achieved and how the system can be paid for. We also asked to hear about issues of personal risk associated with personalisation. We were interested in hearing from individuals, staff, families, carers and interested organisations.
