• The minister was too busy to be able to do an interview about Valuing People Now, instead this is a talk with a parent about her son’s story. • No one could give a good enough service to Donald. • In the end his parents got Direct Payments and organised it themselves, even though it was a lot of work for them. • It started to work and he was happy, but then the authority cut his money and they could not afford so many staff. • Donald is now doing less again and is being given more drugs.
