Family of man with severe disabilities lost ability to plan future

The parents of a man with severe disabilities said they've lost the ability to plan for his future thanks to changes in the way his care is funded. Their advocate said the situation is cruel and inhumane, but the Ministry of Disabled People, Whaikaha, says it's just an interim arrangement. Ryan Cook's family have for the past few years received an annual budget for his care. But in June, it wasn't renewed and instead they're now receiving funding for six weeks at a time. The family employ four staff to care for Ryan, so the change means they no longer have any long-term certainty that his care can continue, Jimmy Ellingham reports.
