Mencap comments on pre budget report

David Congdon, Mencap's head of campaigns and policy, said: "We are disappointed that government has failed to address the need for sustainable long term funding to meet the needs of people with a learning disability. Services are already under great pressure, further efficiency savings and increased financial pressure can only mean more people with a learning disability are unable to access vital services they desperately need.
