Can the RNIB Needs Survey turn the tide for people with visual impairment or will more be said than done?

This article looks at the significance of the RNIB Needs Survey (1991) for social services depart ments and in particular at some of the implications for meeting the needs of consumers who are blind and partially sighted. It considers the inadequacies of the present position and the lack of satisfactory services for many blind and partially sighted people, both registered and non- registered. The facts collected in the survey provide an opportunity for taking steps to bring about essential changes, both in the assessment of needs and in service delivery.
