Break down in arrangements depriving woman with cerebral palsy of State-funded home care, High Court hears

A 50-year-old woman with cerebral palsy is not getting much-needed home care because of a break down of arrangements with State-funded private care providers, the High Court has heard.

The woman uses a wheelchair and can only communicate non verbally. Her father died in September, her mother died in 2004 and her sister, who lives next door, provides most of her help at the moment.
