Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Disability Policy (Economic Downturn).

Disability Policy (Economic Downturn)

Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that personalisation should not mean isolation? Personalisation at home is potentially good news, but people need to get out and have support. Day centres are important, and volunteer groups should not be undermined by an aggressive system of tendering. Often if we want to encourage volunteers in the community, it takes many years to build up well trained and informed voluntary groups.
