Reasons for decisions:
Most
community services are currently commissioned via individual spot
contracts, which offer a limited overview of equity, quality or
price. With population growth, an ageing population, greater
numbers living with disability, and financial constraints, more
cost-effective approaches to procuring high quality support for
people with eligible needs must be
established.  
The
Travel Policy is an important enabler for this work, playing a
central role in facilitating increased independent travel and
supporting people who draw on services (and their families) to
understand eligibility criteria and independently consider their
travel options when accessing support with everyday
living.  The policy is an important tool
for communicating with Surrey’s residents.
