‘I want to live’: the disabled people unable to go abroad because of care funding refusal
Campaigners say disabled people cannot travel abroad because local authorities refuse to fund required care, creating a postcode-based disparity. Officials claim the cost should be covered by the individual, yet advocates argue it adds no extra burden to taxpayers. The dispute reveals uneven application of care funding across regions. Support overseas would not increase overall public expenditure, according to campaigners.
