Here at Hope we agreed to pay for second room as our contribution, it
was difficult enough getting Social services to pay for care which in
one case was £55000.

Dear all,
Skill has experienced a signifcant increase in enquiries about the
funding of rooms for personal assistants in university accommodation.
We have been asked by the Department of Health for further information
on the matter. We would like to know if you are aware of any students
who have been unable to take up their place at university due to their
home social services being unable to pay for an additional room for the
students' personal assistant.
I look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
Ellen
