'Tony is thriving after years in institutional care'
The majority of a £20m fund which was created to move people with learning disabilities out of institutional care has not been spent, according to a new report.
The Scottish Human Rights Commission said it could only trace £14m of the money – of which £12.5m was still unspent. It does not know what happened to the remaining £6m.
Tony now lives in his own home, after 30 years in long-stay hospitals.
Support worker Ian says Tony is proof that people with learning disabilities, who have lived in institutional care, can live in their own homes.
The Scottish government said it was committed to delivering the changes that were needed for people with learning disabilities.
