Jobs to work on in 2010.

Changes need to be made and things need to get better.

In the 2009, funding started to cut back. Most Learning Disability serves are closed, closing or changes are made, for eg people with Learning Disabilities have to pay or pay out more for our services. Not enough people with Learning Disabilities are working but the people who are, are still earning very low pay to be able to have enough money to pay for the services. The government and council funding is spent on the wrong things for eg; The City of Wolverhampton have spent a lot of money on a water fountain. ( Where is our changing places toilets?)(Where the important things in life?) (Where are the things that are needed to the needs of people with Learning Disabilities?)


When it comes to Health, we disagree with Learning Disability Coalition when they sent me an email saying that people with Learning Disabilities are living longer. From my own experiences of having a Learning Disability myself going to see my Gp, I believe that the Mencap report is right in saying that 75% of gps in the Uk are not trained to treat people with Learning Disabilities. We need to be doing research to find out how many people with Learning Disabilities are not happy with their Health services. This is something we could do for Mencap's Learning Disability week, which is about Health.People with Learning Disabilities our selves need to train and educate the Health services to the understanding of the world of Learning Disability.
