Mencap has been to a number of fringe events today at the Labour Party conference, attended by Ismail our Parliamentary Officer. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We went to The Health and Care Interview with Karin Smyth MP, Shadow Minister for Social Care. Ismail asked:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 💬 “How can a new care system like the National Care Service support working age adults with a learning disability?” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ He has also engaged in conversation with the Labour panel about how they may help people with disabilities during the cost of living crisis. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We raised an important issue around the COVID-19 pandemic and how it is important to ensure people with learning disabilities don’t face health inequalities. ⁣ ⁣ #uklabour #labourparty #labour #ukgovernment #government #liztruss #fyp #conference #learningdisability #costofliving
