At a community consultation in Glen Alpine Hall, people gave Liberal-National MPs ideas to amend their current policy.

A woman from an aged-care service in Camden said young people living with disabilities were ``dumped'' in their nursing home.

``There needs to be something in the pipeline for these young people with disabilities,'' she said.

The Opposition spokesman for disability services, Andrew Constance, said 2300 people under the age of 65 were living in nursing homes.

Mr Constance said the number of young people in residential aged care and in nursing homes was ``alarming''.

``A scheme was introduced by the Rees Government in 2007 to relocate these young people, but since then only 10 of them have been relocated,'' he said.

``It's a national disgrace and an embarrassment to think that in the first 18 months of the scheme this was the end outcome. We will use the $80 million in this policy to ensure a better outcome for these people.''

Locally based upper house MP Charlie Lynn chaired the meeting.

The Opposition spokespeople were those for health (Jillian Skinner), community services and women (Pru Goward), citizenship, arts and volunteering (Anthony Roberts), emergency services (Melinda Pavey) and healthy lifestyles and Aboriginal affairs (Kevin Humphries).

Two mothers with children who have Down syndrome and autism said the State Government didn't offer them any support when these conditions were diagnosed.

One of these two mothers, Glenda Graban, said she had started a private support group for mothers in Macarthur.

``Centrelink makes it difficult to get any support from them,'' Ms Graban said.

``We need to take our children to physio and speech therapy. We can't send them to any preschool either, so we need this financial support.''

Mr Constance applauded her for putting what he called a ``human story'' on what they were trying to achieve.

``Early intervention should be the key and it should be a matter of therapy support from a Government department like the Department of Community Services,'' he told Ms Graban.

``You shouldn't have had to form an independent group, but I congratulate you on using your initiative.''

Mr Constace said the policy would enable parents all over NSW to pick and choose the services they needed.
