Not an answer to the question which is why I am sending it round,
but, the statement made that the ' of course, the common answer is NO' is of
concern to me.
Why is it the common answer? Who was asked? (I'm having a week when
my answer would definitely be yes) and is it so great to be disabled that we
put up with it in the hope that in 3 or 4 generations time people won't have
to?
OK, so maybe this is around how much emphasis is placed on the
Social Model and whether, or not, it's actually doing the job that it was
intended too, or at the speed that was hoped.
