Mims Davies MP: “My dad was disabled for twenty-five years‪”‬ Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

    • News

Mims Davies knows first-hand about disability having been a carer for her dad after he sustained a head injury. But how is the Minster for Disabled people, Health and Work faring in the job?
In an extended interview, Emma Tracey quizzes her on a variety of topics including the government's decision to make people on a modest income pay back money for over-claiming Carer's Allowance.
The minister responds to claims by a United Nations committee that the UK is failing in its duty to give disabled people dignity in life and work.
Plus it’s a year since the British Sign Language (BSL) Advisory Board first met to advise the government on key issues impacting BSL users in the deaf community. What has it achieved so far?
