A National Implementation Group was set up in 2001 to assist with the implementation of The same as you?. The Scottish Executive believed that the involvement of people with learning disabilities and family carers in implementing the findings of the review was just as important as it had been in carrying out the review. Members include 5 people with learning disabilities and 2 family carers. The group identified a number of priority areas that would be the main drivers for delivering the change programme. Advocacy was one of these. When The same as you? was published it said not enough people were getting advocacy. A short life working group was set up to look at progress with the development of advocacy for people with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders in Scotland. This is the report of that group.
