People with disabilities 'need action rather than committees', says Ombudsman

Ombudsman Ger Deering said it is 'completely unacceptable' that some disbility schemes have been either withdrawn or made more restrictive. 

The Ombudsman has criticised this Government for its lack of progress in providing access to personal transport support for people living with a disability.

In 2021, the Office of the Ombudsman published the Grounded report, which found that personal transport supports for people with disabilities are inadequate, unfair, and inequitable.
