The author, Director of Values into Action, describes the findings of the recent report, which rejects the notion that village communities are cost effective. Stresses that people with learning difficulties have the right to live non-institutionalised lives in the community, and that transforming of mental handicap hospitals into village communities would amount to little more that the erection of new signboards.
