For community care plans to be drawn up it is essential that users are consulted. Although disabled people are being involved in plans, the authors' research raises questions about how representatives of disabled people are chosen and highlights the negative effects of asking people questions which are inappropriate to their situation. Newer organisations of disabled people, advocacy groups and black and ethnic minority community groups are less likely to belong to more established networks and therefore will miss out on consultation.

The 1990 NHS and Community Care Act required local authority social services departments and health authorities to publish each year their plans for community care services, in collaboration with service users. The first community care plans were published in April 1992, a year before the main community care changes came into place; most have been revised annually since then. A project based at the University of Manchester has examined how disabled people are involved in community care planning in five local authority areas; and the opportunities which this offers to influence the development of services.

Essential lifestyle planning is a guided process for learning how someone wants to live and for developing a plan to help make it happen. It’s also: a snapshot of how someone wants to live today, serving as a blueprint for how to support someone tomorrow; a way of organizing and communicating what is important to an individual in “user friendly”, plain language; a flexible process that can be used in combination with other person centered planning techniques; and, a way of making sure that the person is heard, regardless of the severity of his or her disability. Developing plans that really reflect how people want to live require: the perspectives of those who know and care about the person; their stories about good days and bad; and, what they like and admire about the person.
