Combining choice, quality and equity in social services (Denmark)
Several EU Member States have introduced innovations in the provision of social services in recent years, motivated by a number of reasons, not least in order to provide a wider range of choice to recipients, to help ensure quality and to contain costs, while at the same time maintaining equality of access to the services concerned. Accordingly, they have experimented with giving final consumers more say over the services they receive and the form in which they are delivered, in particular, through `personal budget' schemes under which users of services can choose how to spend the money allocated to them, or through voucher schemes, which are similar in kind. Both have the effect of introducing market mechanisms into the provision of social services, of linking supply more closely with demand and of introducing competition between providers, so giving them an incentive to maintain quality and to keep costs down.
