Harrow Council has been proudly telling us about its new 'Amazon-style'
website where residents who receive care can shop online for support and leisure services.

The council says this is a UK-first and describes it as an online marketplace where residents can shop for services or equipment using their personal budget - a sum of money provided by the council for them to spend to meet their social care needs.

It's now been singled out for praise by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement and put forward for the regional final of the Health and Social Care Awards.

Where next for technology?
