Baroness Uddin (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2025

Debate

Young Disabled People: Social Care Services

Contribution

My Lords, I had not intended to speak but I want to reach out to the noble Baroness, Lady Monckton, as I understand her frustration and why she is upset. I declare an interest as a mother of a child in this situation—he is now an adult, at 46 years old. That is precisely what happened to my family and my son; the service was no longer fit for purpose. There are hundreds and thousands of parents feeling exactly the same angst. Will the Minister’s review therefore build in space for advocacy on behalf of parents in any forward-looking strategy that the Government are considering?
