National Campaign for the Young Chronic Sick

[2] Pamela La Fane is featured in three television documentary programmes (made by the Man Alive BBC2 production team) that were broadcast on BBC1, 10:30pm on 6th, 13th and 20th June 1968 under the title, At a Time Like This - A Life of Her Own.

[10] Alf Morris MP was a backbench member of the UK parliament, and through a Private Members Bill he steered into law starting in 1969 and into early 1970, the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970, a wide-ranging law with many new powers and duties given to social services departments to meet the needs of disabled people.

There is, however, a set-back within the range of new responsibilities given to hospitals which include the controversial expansion of the number of Young Disabled Units, YDUs.

[6] These controversial YDUs become the focus of future campaigns by disabled people in the 1970s, and especially by the radical Union of the Physically Impaired Against Segregation, UPIAS.

[12] Recently accessed archive records in the People's History Museum, Manchester UK, suggest that the group, possibly renamed as the National Campaign for the Chronically Sick and Disabled (NCCSD) based on an entry in their accounts book, continued until around 1973.
