Views on new disability group

A working group has been formed in the Scottish Borders to look at setting up a new information service for people with disabilities. It includes representatives from NHS Borders, Scottish Borders Council and the Third Sector. The aim of this new service will be to improve the lives of people living with a disability or long term condition. To help ensure that the service is effective, we are contacting a range of people to get their views on what the service should look like. In particular, we would welcome your views on where we should focus the limited resources available. We would be most grateful if you could complete this brief questionnaire.
