Verbatim
“People with learning disabilities and autistic people have the same right to high-quality, appropriate healthcare as everyone else, yet too often the health system is not set up in a way that enables them to access it.”
“Delivering lasting reform will require sustained collaboration, long-term investment and difficult decisions, but the prize is a social care system that is fairer, more resilient, and better able to support people to lead the contributing lives they choose.”
“We know that high-quality, person-centred social care transforms lives, and agree with the Prime Minister that it depends on a skilled, dedicated workforce which is nationally undervalued.”
