    I think this is where an idea to have representatives in every part of government would work. So, we make sure that when decisions are made for disabled people, disabled representation is there.

    I think the next debate would be, who do we pick?

    I don't care which party the prospective Minister belongs to, as long as they have the guts to
    stand up for us and fight our battles.  I suggested Ann Widdecombe, because she has stood up
    in public, on TV, and stated that the NHS is "bonkers".  With disabilities, we all need an
    efficient NHS, and it is NOT.  Time and again the NHS lets us down, and I fear it will get
    worse, unless strong action is taken.
     Why not select a potential candidate amongst ourselves - then keep on banging the drum 
    whenever there is an issue of importance to us.  With the Scope community behind this - we could
    lobby for a lot of changes/
