National Disability Strategy

Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick Excerpts

Thursday 10th February 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I thank the noble Baroness for that question. I know that on a very personal level because I have an adult daughter who is disabled and needs exactly that kind of care. I think it is important that we look to how we can do that better, if that is what disabled people in consultations say is necessary. I will take that back to the department.

[Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Lab)]

My Lords, will the Government commit to increase the funding for research into conditions such as ME, which has already been referred to, so that children and adults across the UK can receive the right care and support that they so urgently and desperately need?
