Families who treat dear disabled people are very much undergoing cuts in East Renfrewshire Social Service

Romi Loffler uses a tablet-controlled audio device to communicate with other people.

The 19-year-old lives in a RETT syndrome, a rare genetic state that affects brain development and also epilepsy.

This means that Romi is one of the most difficult to hit the artificial test and social care in July.

A plan that contains 20 £ 20 per hour for non -residential care may affect about 500 inhabitants from July.

Parents and nurses have been widespread, and more than 1,000 people signed a petition calling for the proposal to be rejected.

Romi is now a 20%surgery of his support and increased his fees 24 hours a day.

If the aid is removed, Romin – and hundreds of people – would also make access to the community.

He told STV News: “I need 24 hours of treatment to live my life. I’m 19 and I don’t want to spend time with my mother all the time.

“These cuts make it difficult for me to get out of the house. I think it would be interesting that council members spend the day with me and see what my life is like. “

Last week, the Council voted on a non -residential care.

But only a handful of council cabinet members voted, arousing anger and frustration from those who benefit and demand vital care.

Rom’s mother, Dr. Gay Gordon, said: “Families like our family are very invisible in society. You don’t see families like us because it’s so hard to get out.

“Society has not been established for families like us. Before decision -makers see and understand what they make, they intend to make and make the wrong decisions.

“If they understand the consequences of their proposal correctly, they may think again.”

Gael offers most of his daughter’s care. He has only significantly reduced his working hours only half a day to take care of his daughter. However, he fears that he may have to give up work completely if the cuts are implemented.

He told STV News: “It’s not something I’ve ever planned. Social service means that people are independent and are independent of their families.

“That’s what the budget allows. A little freedom, everyone else enjoy, young or old. This means that Romin has to spend much of his time at home with his mother and not get out and do things that a 19-year-old student wants to do. “

Council member Annette Ireland, who represents Clarston, Netherlee and Williamwood Ward, told Stv News that she wanted the Council to stop her plan for at least a year.

Ireland, who sits independently, said, “Funding it this year and gives the Scotland government the opportunity to look at his funding in Scotland.

“The next product, which immediately came to the vote of this product, was declared £ 2.14 million in the Council’s budget this year and is quite shocking. It is placed in reserves. It was a bit of a blow to the face. “

The East Renfrewshire Council will vote again at the end of the month.

Council member Owen O’Donnell, East Renfrewshire Council, said: “The Council Cabinet supported a really heavy heart with the recommendation of the integration government (IJB) to present.

“After years of underlying the Scottish government, IJB has stopped alternatives and has to make very difficult decisions to provide very difficult financial challenges in the long run.

“All five other Glasgow and ClyDe health and social care partnerships were downloaded by anything other than residential care many years ago. Throughout the country, the average upper limit on what people have to pay for their available earnings is 64% and in some areas it is up to 75%.

“Following extensive feedback from service users, the Council’s cabinet has recommended that the maximum number of people in Eastern Renfrewshire be reduced by 60 %, which IJB proposes to 40 % and that the introduction of fees is delayed from April to July. These fees are not expected to apply most of the service users. ”
