Policies

• There should be a Minister alone for Special Needs. If you vote for me this is my pledge to you
• Special Needs require early diagnoses and early intervention. Abolish means testing for careers. Parents decide their own programme for their child
• You Decide my salary
• People Before banks
• The Politics of handing the baton from one party to another should be long gone
