This bill would require certain organisations to support disabled people to live independently and would give disabled people rights to live independently. It would also update the Mental Health Act 1983 and the Care Standards Act 2000 to reflect these independent-living aims. The overall goal is to improve access to suitable care and support so disabled people can live more independently.
Originated in the Lords and completed its Lords stages; it is now at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, with further stages to follow.
