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.

Describes a project in Manchester which has for the last two years been looking at the involvement of disabled people in community care planning. Concludes that community care planning is at crossroads. Either it will become a paper exercise absorbing huge voluntary sector resources for little return. Or it will be more closely linked to purchasing an commissioning, providing an opportunity for disabled people and voluntary organisations to influence service provision directly.
