Ms Anne Winslow:

On congregated settings, there is no doubt that there are worries about people moving out. In an ideal world there would be choice as well for people to live together, because people get peer support regardless of their disability. It is not an ideal, but the movement is bringing about a huge change from people's institutional experience. There is going to be a lead-in period for people and it will take a while. It is natural that there are fears and some of the solutions undoubtedly are not ideal. In the normal scheme of things, the Chairman and I do not choose to live alone; we choose to live with other people, so there will have to be some more flexibility in it. I appreciate the concerns the committee has heard in that regard. At the same time, however, we must push that model to bring about real change, including in the mindset.
