PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Security Benefits: Disability (8 June 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to ensure that disabled people are proactively and directly engaged in the public consultation on the forthcoming health and disability Green Paper.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

It is vital that the voices of disabled people are at the centre of health and disability policy development. Over the past 18 months I have personally led a series of events in which I have heard directly from disabled people about their lived experiences with the benefits system. We will continue this direct engagement with disabled people up to and following the publication of the Health and Disability Green Paper.
