New blog by Sue Bott, Director of Policy and Development at Disability Rights UK
In this provocative blog, Sue Bott argues that current campaigning for reversals in cuts or increased resources for the NHS and social care or against the closure of the Independent Living Fund will not, alone, bring about independent living.
Instead she proposes that disabled people should concentrate their campaigning towards achieving a single integrated system that assesses people’s needs and allocates assistance and support based on the outcomes people could achieve in their communities and contribute to society.
