Non medical helper database

DSA QAG have announced a delay in their non medical helper database project that had been started with the aim of providing one standard source of information for DSA funded support. The reason for the delay is that 75% of the organisations contacted for informant did not respond. This is hardly a shock given that there area already two databases in operation so those approached probably think they have already responded. In addition, there may be sone suspicion about enquiries about non medical helper support at a time when BIS are known to be developing plan to cut it. http://www.dsa-qag.org.uk/component/com_docman/Itemid,258/gid,657/task,doc_download/
