Simon's picking up his email, and for once managing to stay on top of the
volume. I have been meaning to dig something up about the various UK PD
housing/respite care projects - Inverness, Walsall, Cambridge, Romford.
Each has its own particular aims and problems. I think the UK has learned a
lot from these projects which we should share - as these lessons are still
being learned it is probably best to get you more than one opinion as well
as some facts.
I'm afraid that this will take a few weeks though - I'm very busy at the
moment :-(
Your contact info. for the PDS above is correct. Two names which might help
start the ball rolling are Barry Brooking (Chief Exec.) and Pauline Smith
("Operations Director" I think - she's in a new position, but if she
doesn't look after these projects she'll know who does).
Sorry I haven't done anything on this yet, will try to get round to it soon.
Simon
