I must begin by apologising for not updating my followers for a few weeks. I have been in battle – mode against my local authority who seem determined not to increase my package of social care, unless I undertake a health assessment that everyone can clearly see I don’t need.

The following blog is a random collection of thoughts from a sexually frustrated member of the disabled community in 21st Century Britain. I have a lot on my mind. I will soon be starting my reassessment with an independent social worker, am working on an art exhibition related to the #SaveWILG campaign, am trying to
I have just received this Written Statement by Julie Morgan AM, Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services.
