I’m very pleased to hear the news about the vote on the Assisted Dying bill. I have had family members who had to die in agony. I hope there might be a choice for others not to go through this, soon. My friends here in Australia are very surprised to hear we don’t have this humane choice already.

Excited to be at #NCASC this week. You'll find us talking about:
🟣 Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
🟣 The workforce strategy
🟣 Direct payments and self-directed support
🟣 Care Closer to Home
And it all comes back to one question: How can we support people live life their way?
