What happens to my disabled daughter when I die?

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Danielle Petley is 27 years old and has cerebral palsy. Her mum, Dee Petley, says she is desperately concerned about what happens to Danielle when she can no longer care for her. Dee has struggled to get Danielle into residential care after her husband died and she has had health problems. Dee told Adrian Chiles she has reached 鈥渃risis point鈥�, adding 鈥渢here was a time when I thought well, maybe if she has a seizure and doesn鈥檛 come out of it then I wouldn鈥檛 have to worry鈥�. Dee spoke to 5 live Daily after the disability charity Fitzroy UK released a report about the concerns of parents of people with learning disabilities called 'Who will care after I'm gone'. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on 9 November 2015.
