I thank Ms Hall for attending. The term "disabled person" covers a large number of people, including those who are born with a disability and have a good quality of life throughout and, on the other side, a 40 year old who is involved in, for example, a car crash and becomes quadriplegic overnight. Would Ms Hall differentiate in any way? Would the latter example of someone enduring a car crash and finding it impossible to cope change her view in any way?
