Ms Claire Kenny:

Yes. I will make a quick comment on older parents and disabled people. This is a concern that is raised time and time again by young disabled people and disabled people throughout their lives. They are scared because there is no planning in place for sensible, universally designed homes. Article 19 of the UNCRPD clearly states and recognises "the equal right of all ... [disabled people] to live in the community, with choices [and control] equal to others". Disabled people want to be able to live in their communities. Disabled young persons want to have the same right to live in the community apart from their parents in some form. Their non-disabled peers have that right when they reach a certain age. That is not always recognised or planned for, so that is what I wanted to add.
