Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how much was spent by NHS England on reasonable adjustments to remove the barriers faced by individuals with disabilities in all health and social care settings in each of the past five financial years.
The information requested is not collected or held centrally.
It is the responsibility of individual employers and providers to provide reasonable adjustments. Under the Equality Act 2010, health and social care organisations have a legal duty to make changes in their approach or provision to ensure that services are as accessible to disabled people as they are for everybody else.
