Needs Of Disabled People
EDM number 1301 in 2002-03, proposed by Anne Begg on 03/06/2003.
That this House welcomes the John Grooms Inquiry into the needs of young disabled people; notes that the report shows there is a constantly growing number of disabled people and further notes its worrying findings that policy-makers and service providers do not have sufficient accurate information about the situation facing disabled people, which often results in uncoordinated and inappropriate care, housing and health services; and calls on the Government to give greater priority to ensuring that the needs and rights of all disabled people are met and to play a strategic role in making available the necessary information so that future care services are coordinated effectively, funded adequately and are appropriate to the needs of the user.
This motion has been signed by a total of 129 MPs.
