With regard to what Mr. Harris said about getting the public sector to that 6%, the fact the assistive technology grant is not an individual grant for public sector employees is a huge disadvantage to them. I know so many of our employees in the Civil Service who have to make a business case to get assistive technology and they are often turned down because it is in county councils or a Department budget, but if they were in a private company, they would get it.

Having the opportunity to upgrade within the Civil Service is about assistive technology and advancing that grant. It is a huge issue for me and the people involved.
