Dr. Sarah Waters:

Absolutely. We have done two recent consultations on the wage subsidy scheme and the reasonable accommodation fund. We have had submissions in from individuals. We would never, ever share any of that information anywhere else within the Department. In fact, the personal information that people have in their submissions - if they do, and they probably should not - that does not have any bearing on us. What we want, what we will be looking at and analysing are the points they have made, if they have answered the questions that are specifically within the Green Paper or if they have made a submission that is a little bit more general.

We will look at what are the parts of the system that they think are and are not working and what changes they would like to be made. If we go with a consultation report it will all be anonymous. Generally what we do, especially for disabled persons organisations and disability groups, is have a list of who has engaged with us but when it comes to individuals their personal details will never be included.
