That is scaremongering and quite wrong.
There are no details in this green paper as to how the proposed new organisation will be structured, and who will be responsible for what. That's the main criticism that can be levelled at it.
It's proposed that all care serevices and benefits are centralised in one new body.
An idea I think is much needed, as do many disabled rights groups too.
