PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
EVERY DISABLED CHILD MATTERS CAMPAIGN (28 November 2006)

Motion Details

That this House believes that the UK's 770,000 disabled children and their carers deserve to have better access to respite or short break care; notes with concern that more than half of disabled children's families live in poverty; pays tribute to the principles of the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign; and calls upon the Government to support the Disabled Children's Short Breaks Bill, which places a specific legal duty on local authorities and health agencies to provide vital short breaks for families with disabled children in England and Wales.
