We're still without a Minister for Disabled People...

In my opinion having a Minister for Disabled people is a vital role for disabled voices. I do think we should have someone in that position. I think people's opinions on the role and how the role works will be different amongst us because of our different opinions on politics. Also, how each party treat the role as well as how each Minister in the position treats that role. 

If they are scrapping the role (there have been discussions on a U-Turn) then I think another route is to have representatives for disabled voices in every sector of government. If the role was created so disabled voices are heard, then we must continue to be heard. Disabled people are still facing many barriers.

I do find it baffling that they have scrapped it after the Autumn Statement and giving us an insight into what they would like to plan to do in regard to getting more disabled people back into work...

  I find it difficult to comprehend why they spend so much money getting disabled people into work when they can't find fit people jobs. 
  I would love to work and earn a few BOB, but as soon as I work I ONLY GET 0.15 PENCE IN THE POUND.  Now don't think me ungrateful but how many hours would I have to put in to take home £200 a week?
  I am willing to work at home, and I am willing to use the skills I have ( which are many) but they won't let me.
  Lets put it this way:  MY OPINION;
If they can't find a fit and able bodied MP to take the job of Disability Minister, they why don't they give me the job?  I would be willing to do JOB SHARE where the hours that are required could be split between 3 or 4 others so that the more you hire you could have the department running 24/7 (like A & E)  I have been a night shift foreman and Safety Officer/First Aider for over 30 years, so I'm up for the job, is there anyone that would want to join me in a Job Share?
  Training given on the go, could not do any worse than the others that have had the job?  I already write Risk Assessments and Method Statements, am already Disabled so know what is required to get treatment appointments for treatment including Mental Issues now comming to the forefront.
  Gert Scope to form a Body of members that want to be more active in the fight for what we deserve.
  The first thing I would change is I AM NOT FIGHTING FOR WHAT I DESERVE I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY TO BE THE FIRST RULE.
  This would apply to the out going people to question what is supposed to have been done and what was actually done.
  The recent production of the White Paper in 23rd April 2023 AGAIN was implemented by the DWP, we are now into DECEMBER so the first thing to look at is WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
  You give out contracts to Jobs for the boys but can't sort out something that can only get worse.
