National Disability Strategy

Debate between Lord Ashton of Hyde and Baroness Masham of Ilton

Thursday 10th February 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ashton of Hyde (Con)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Masham of Ilton, wishes to speak virtually, and I think this is a good time to call her.

[Baroness Masham of Ilton (CB) [V]]

My Lords, is the Minister aware that some people with a disability just need a little personal help and assistance to get up and to go to bed, so that, once up, they can reach their full potential? Can the Government make it easier for this help to be forthcoming?

Debate between Lord Ashton of Hyde and Baroness Masham of Ilton

Thursday 6th January 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ashton of Hyde (Con)]

My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Masham, wishes to speak virtually, so I think this is a convenient point to call her.

[Baroness Masham of Ilton (CB) [V]]

My Lords, as president of the Spinal Injuries Association, I ask the Minister whether he realises that there are many people who are severely paralysed, some of whom need two or three carers each day living in their own homes. Is he aware that the skilled labour market of carers from Europe has dried up since Brexit, leaving many people in a state of fear and anxiety of being at risk? The Government can help. Will they?
