Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adults with Learning Disabilities.


Adults with Learning Disabilities

Friends of mine are trying to set up such an independent group, and the biggest problem is the lack of an obvious route for grant finance. The difficulty with seeking local authority finance only is that people will not be entirely independent of that local authority. That could create problems if they have issues that they wish to raise with the authority. I know that promises have been made, but they urgently need to be translated into action.
