Person who uses services
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
Anyone who uses care services, whether you are in your own home, in residential care or in hospital. The NHS is likely to describe you as a 'patient', while the council and other care providers may also describe you as a 'client' or 'service user'. You may also be described as a 'cared-for person', in relation to your carer.
