Also the £19,000 a month still being paid to someone who left of their own volition! That shows the personnel department have no idea how to write contracts for their executives.

Advocacy is a much needed and valued service for the most vulnerable people in our society. Advocacy enables people to communicate their life choices, needs and wishes, things that sometimes others can take for granted. Advocacy can have a huge impact on people's independence and lives. It is short sighted, uncompassionate and irresponsible to reduce the funding to already stretched services by a staggering 50% - Please sign!

Cuts in advocacy do not even make economic sense as the lack of support will reverberate and eventually cost the county more. In relation to human care and compassion, a cut of 50% is unethical. Cumbria should look at what some other counties are doing, which is not directing cuts at those least able to defend themselves. Shame on you.
