People with learning disabilities have helped shape new services that give them more choice and control.
They have helped Surrey County Council as part of a public value review that looked at what was done well and what could be done better.
Councillor Michael Gosling said: “We spent a long time listening to the views of people with learning difficulties and the groups that represent them.
“Those views have shaped changes that will give them more choice and control over their care and support and greater independence to live their lives as they choose.
“They have also helped us to find ways of doing things more efficiently to ensure taxpayers’ money goes further.”
