We also asked forum members in various workshops that we arranged
in the last few weeks to comment on why they would like the Short
Breaks Service to be re-designed without making a saving, please
find below responses:-
“My son cannot use the one to one support service or the
advertised short break activities because his needs are too high
and they cannot accommodate for him. The personal budget is a
realistic option for us because we choose activities that he can
get involved in and he enjoys taking part” – Donna
Taylor (Parent/Carer)
“We have been told our personal budgets will not be renewed
until after April 2017. I feel this is unfair that we are losing
our personal budgets when new members join when we should still be
entitled to it” – Toni Martin (Parent/Carer)
