Help us hold local health services to account!

 

Dear

 

As you may know, earlier this year the government announced that local health services have £340 million from 2008-2011 for disabled children.

 

The government has asked local health bodies (Primary Care Trusts) to publish a statement on their health services for disabled children, including what they are spending, and we need your help to find these statements!

 

Please email your local health body and ask them to send you a copy of their statement.

 

With your help we can make sure disabled children are getting the health services they need, wherever they live.

 

Many thanks as always for your support for the campaign.

 

Best wishes
