This monograph summarises the work and conclusions of an exploration into services supporting adults living in the community who have two or more significant impairments. It found that people with multiple impairments are on the margin of service structures and provision,. No professional group has responsibility for meeting their needs comprehensively. Consequently the support is not available, provision inadequate and funding is poorly negotiated between agencies.
