Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. The Minister will already know that the disabled community is under-represented across probably all employment levels. Does the Minister agree that the Civil Service should lead the way and move beyond reasonable adjustments and set significant ambitions to see some of the most underutilised, most professional people in our communities — those with disabilities — in paid employment?
