We have a joined-up policy to meet needs of disabled people

I AM writing in relation to the article which criticised the the Government’s national disability strategy (Irish Examiner, October 10).

The strategy represents a commitment by Government to drive forward a significant evolution in policy and provision for people with disabilities.

Among the established building blocks are the strong anti-discrimination framework of employment equality and equal status legislation, the policy of mainstreaming services for people with disabilities and the significant increase in investment in disability services in recent years.
