We met in 2008 at a consultation meeting about
social care with Health Minister, Ben Bradshaw, M.P. In April 2010 we
pooled some of our ideas about health and social care into a paper,
Integrated care: A Discussion Document which outlines some
ideas for a fresh approach to care and introduces a new breed of
organization, Local Integrated Not-for-profit Groups.

Devon, a charity which helps people with physical and sensory
disabilities, and he sat on a number of charitable and public
involvement committees campaigning for improvements for carers, patients
and the disabled.
