    Infrastructure

    Public services - especially regarding persons with disabilities (PwD) - are being increasingly starved.

    In Poland, effectively 1st of January, the caretaker support (for people not employed due to taking full time care of their disabled relatives) has been replaced with “supportive money”, much harder to obtain and in lower amount. New parliament is promising substantial rises, but there is no money in sight to back them up.

    In UK, as almost 20% of municipalities warns about imminent bankruptcy, an old idea to “warehouse” PwD looms again.
