A new survey by TLAP (Think Local, Act Personal) and the Local Government Association has highlighted the difficulties many Disabled people face in hiring a Personal Assistant (PA) to help with daily living tasks. Around 70,000 Disabled people employ a PA in the UK. The survey results found that PA recruitment has got harder, both in terms of a shortage of applicants and their suitability for the work.
