National Disability Strategy

Debate between Lord Ashton of Hyde and Baroness Scott of Bybrook

Thursday 10th February 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I agree with the noble Lord that charities do a lot in this country, but when the Government work with charities and others in the third sector, we can do more. I will certainly take the question on ME provision to colleagues in the Department of Health to discuss this. I do not know whether they are willing to do a review, but I will ask them to get in touch with the noble Lord.

[Lord Ashton of Hyde (Con)]

My Lords, it is the turn of the Lib Dems. The noble Baroness, Lady Thomas of Winchester, wants to speak virtually.

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

My Lords, I cannot say specifically, but I will certainly write with the answer. Across the whole of this country, there are areas where disability is more of an issue than in others. That is why we have this cross-government strategy, and why we will deliver on it.

[Lord Ashton of Hyde (Con)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Masham of Ilton, wishes to speak virtually, and I think this is a good time to call her.

Thursday 10th June 2021 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I am very happy to take that offer to sit down with the department back to it, and I will be in touch with the noble Lord.

[Lord Ashton of Hyde (Con)]

My Lords, I just remind all noble Lords that the recommended time for a question is 30 seconds. If we could all make an effort to keep to that, I will do my best to ensure that Ministers are equally brief.
