Governments have options. When it comes to the rights of disabled people, the Government does have options. For example, it can raise taxes. There are other options but the Minister of State appears to consider only the unpalatable ones from the point of view of either the health services or people who are legally entitled to these allowances. Is it fair to say that is the case?
