Dr Sue Farrant visits Southill Day Centre
Dr Sue Farrant, Liberal Democrat candidate for West Dorset, visited Southill Day Centre for adults with learning disabilities last week to answer questions on a wide range of issues. Topics included the future of day care services, concessionary bus fares, the government’s strategy for adults with learning difficulties and the NHS.
“It was an enjoyable morning with lots of searching questions put to us,” said Dr Sue Farrant. “I hope it will help the service users to decide how to use their votes when the time comes.”
During the visit, Dr Sue Farrant expressed her concern about the way that the government’s Valuing People strategy for adults with learning disabilities was being implemented in West Dorset. Referring to the Albany Unit and Whitehouse resource centre in Sherborne, she said that she supported the Valuing People principles but wanted to see more choices being offered to service users and their families.
