At a meeting with parents in May, the Adult Disability Service (ADSES) explained that they were planning to send out a questionnaire to determine the overall need for respite care for adults with a learning disability.  This follows completion of ‘Phase One’ of their respite care plans which has been focused on meeting the needs of existing service users who could no longer access The Croft.  ADSES will also be moving to a new process for allocating respite care in July.  
A date for the next review meeting with parents has not yet been set, but it is hoped this will include a member of the HSSD Board so that parents can relay their experiences ‘from the front line’.
