Dr. Rosalyn Tamming:

In the national disability inclusion strategy, it did not really work. There were Departments and the disability stakeholders group, which was people with disabilities and some bigger disability organisations. There could be in excess of 70 people at a meeting, which made monitoring quite difficult. There was time for updates but not for probing and questioning. A different approach needs to be used. Everybody's input is still needed but it needs to be done in a different way. A smaller group at the top is needed, perhaps with the Minister, and then other groups feeding into it. When the strategy is developed, it is likely to have a number of priority pillars. Without pre-empting what it will be, let us say there would be an employment pillar and education pillar, with a group around each of those pillars reporting to the group rather than everybody, all those 70 people or so, doing so because that did not work that effectively.
