Have your say on the Social Care Green Paper

September 2009

In the social care green paper ‘Shaping the Future of Care Together', published in July, the Government set out plans for creating a National Care Service for England.

Although Mencap supports the visions of the green paper, it is highly disappointed that the government has failed to provide clearer guidance on how it will provide better services for a growing population of people with a learning disability in a green paper that focuses almost exclusively on older people.

Mencap believes that it is more important than ever to tell the Government about the social care problems faced by people with a learning disability and their families.
