This is an invaluable service and to lose it would be a backward step, hurting the most vulnerable.

The importance of such services cannot be underestimated. The authorities responsible for even considering this closure should be ashamed of themselves.

How can the state expect anyone to take a child to Winchester from Portland for respite care where other family members will be unable to visit. Any child needing special needs has the right to familiar surroundings and continuity of care with staff they have bonded with.
These children are vulnerable and only have parents, friends and relatives to fight for their human rights and ensure they have appropriate and the best of care given to them during respite.
Taking Digby away will mean many families will be unable to have breaks they desperately need. The majority of us have holidays at some point in the year due to the stress of everyday life. What must it be like for a person to have the added stress of a disabled child and be told your local respite care will be closed down, future care may be limited and a lengthy journey added, also knowing the care home is inaccessable in emergencies. A thought for those governing bodies withdrawing this service; how would you cope? Rethink!
