It is a work in progress and the Disability Discrimination law won't be implemented before 2017/2018 at the earliest so this dream is probably a long way off realisation yet.
Bearing in mind all the other "strategic" reviews that are going on at the moment and given the lowly status of disability issues, the size of the ever increasing black hole and the lack of funding from our austerity government....well this dream will probably vanish over the horizon and into the sunset eventually
How this all fits in with our deplorable housing shortages - especially of accommodation suitable for the 13 - 20,000 people identified here with disabilities - is another major concern.
But add this to the Health Department's care in the community project, the new hospital, reform of primary care and the ageing population....well it all looks rather incomplete and unrealistic...

STRATEGY Part Two
At least our government has disability issues on the agenda...
