Three weeks on, still no sign of plans to protect disabled people in blackouts

NHS bodies have this week been unable to point to any evidence that plans have been drawn up to protect people who need electricity to run lifesaving medical equipment in their homes, in the event of power blackouts this winter. It is now the third consecutive week that Disability News Service (DNS) has attempted to secure information from the government, public bodies and the energy industry about what preparations have been made to protect disabled people in the event of three-hour blackouts this winter.
