The most recent All Wales People First National Council meeting was held in Swansea at the end of October, and was attended by Christy, Sharon (standing in as deputy for Ffion), and Natalie (a student nurse on placement with us).

At the meeting, elected reps from various People First groups came together to discuss issues relating to the lives of people with learning disabilities.  Some of the subjects discussed included the issues people are having with renewing their bus passes and blue badges.  Caerphilly People First members have also been having problems with this.  Joe Powell said he would contact Transport for Wales to see if they will attend the next meeting and talk to reps about these issues.  The group also talked about voting and the difficulties people with learning disabilities face when trying to vote.  The next national council meeting will be held in Flint, North Wales in January 2020.
