Mr. Adrian Stewart:

We have had a good discussion today about social protection. One thing we need to look at is the crossover between social protection and employment. We need to try to improve the employment prospects of people with disabilities, and move them away so they become as independent as they want to be. There is huge scope with the current schemes. They need to be more individualised. As Ms Bird stated, the incapacity-to-work medical model is definitely broken. We need to provide encouragement. We spoke today about the quota scheme, and different things the State can apply to improve the lot of people with disabilities. There is a lot of work to be done and we have identified a lot of the issues today.
