A coalition of community groups made a noisy case outside Province House on Tuesday. The demonstrators want the Hamm government to act on the recently released Kendrick report which reviewed government programs for people with disabilities in Nova Scotia.

The report was authored by American consultant Dr. Michael Kendrick, who took a close look at the ways the Nova Scotia government helps disabled people stay independent. His report was made public last January.

Kendrick made several recommendations for better policies, improved communications and more money. They are changes the disabled community supports, but so far the province has been silent on what it is prepared to do or when it's prepared to do it. That frustrates Barb Horner who has a daughter with mental and physical disabilities.

"We're very concerned about her future because the funding system for the adults has recently changed and I'm not sure what awaits us when she turns 19," Horner said. "I do not want her to live in a nursing home or an institution."

Horner has joined a coalition of groups which plans to lobby the government to implement the Kendrick Report.

Meanwhile, Minister of Community Services Peter Christie says his department does plan to make some decisions about the recommendations this summer. Christie says the disabled community will then be consulted in the fall.
