Brian had to keep himself in four hours: the Staff was to the party

- last Thursday there were 4 staff on duty here at her home Bellisvej, where the we are 12 people with disabilities.

But suddenly they choose 3 of those to take to the shrovetide party, which means that there is only 1 flat.

- But when I go to the toilet, then used 2, and therefore, I could not get on the wc.

so begins Brian B. from Maribo on Lolland a letter to the nation! about the unpleasant situation, he sat in for week ago. the
Brian think the episode is well-suited to put focus on the way the system treats him and other people with disabilities - and the nation! have therefore asked the municipality to comment on the experience. The answers you can read below.

brian's letter continues:

- I had to keep me in 4 hours, it do not went wrong.

- But I would ask that you contact mayor Robert Rasmussen in Lolland Municipality, writes Brian. The mayor has asked the municipal social and arbejdsmarkedschef Allan Ruders reply to:

- It is true that one Thursday night had been arranged Carnival party at the Lake, which is a residential facility for adults with brain injury or physical disability.

- By events out of the house become the staff resources were allocated according to how many citizens there are out of the house, and how many there are at home.

- Since the vast majority of the residents of the Bellisvejs, where that citizen lives, had signed up for the party took the 2 permanent staff members to accompany the residents to the party

- A worker was back on the Bellisvej and could at need be in contact with the 2 employees, if there was a need for help.

- It should be noted that the distance between the two habitats is ca. 4 min, writes Allan Ruders, who also can indicate to Brian that day called the staff at 18.30-the time to ask for more food, and that it was the only call of staff on site until the time when the first citizen and an employee came back from the party.
