Nearly half of families with disabled children receive no support from the NHS or social services. The authors found that 48% of families with disabled children received no help from outside the family and a further 30% received less than two hours support per week. Four out of five families (80%) said health and social services were "not properly coordinated". "The level of support given to these families by social services is often extremely poor," the report said. "The system is bureaucratic, has little sense of responsibility and is fuelled by ideological theories that have little relevance to everyday life." The report recommended giving the families of disabled children more control over their own lives. It called for the £140m currently spent on commissioning social services for the disabled to be given directly to the families as a non-means-tested payment in addition to current benefits. The thinktank estimated this extra money would be worth £115 a week.
