People with a learning disability denied care
close to home
The government’s Transforming Care programme aims tomove people with learning disabilities out of long-stayunits a long way from their family, and into the communitynearer to home.
Learning Disability Voices, who are a group of careproviders working together, think this will not work
because they say providers do not have the means tomove people into the community safely and effectively.
Learning Disability Voices have released their Care CrisisManifesto. A manifesto is something that tells you aboutwhat people believe.

CQC Report – Better Care in My Hands
Better Care In My Hands describes how well people are
involved in their own care and what good involvement lookslike.
Everyone has a right to be involved in their own care.
This is very important for person centred care and helps to
make the care people receive better.
The report is based on evidence from
national reports
inspections
patient surveys
information reviews
The report shows what helps people and their families to
work together with health and social care staff and good
practice examples from inspections.
Some of the things they found were
Half of the people asked feel involved in decisions
about their health care and treatment.
People with a learning disability are less involved intheir care.
People need to be more involved in their care.
Accessible information is needed for people and their
families and carers

Fantastic news for all wheelchair users.
The taxi campaign for equal fares for people inwheelchairs has been going for about 5 years.
Groups around the UK have been campaigning for evenlonger (since 1996) when the Disability Discrimination Actcame into force.

Transport minister Andrew Jones has now said thatsections 165 and 167 of the Equality Act 2010 will comeinto force this year, which he said will “impose duties onthe driver of a taxi to accept and assist a wheelchair-user
and not to charge extra for doing so”.
