People with disabilities are disempowered by changes in delivery of services in non-hospital settings. In Canada many developments have been achieved in advanced service delivery systems, beyond the limited designs elsewhere. None the less, these influences have reached services in the UK, where brokerage services have been established in some settings. Three clear stages have emerged in the analysis of successful advocacy systems: ad hoc pressure by individuals; demonstration pilot schemes; mainstream provision.
