Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I could not agree with the Deputy more. There is a role for the Department of Transport, transport providers, Local Link and others, but there is a special additional requirement for people who are in what one might call particularly sheltered or supervised day services and have very high levels of dependency. I have heard so many times that it is pretty useless giving someone a place if they cannot get to it. My view is that we should provide that transport. I do not think it is doable within the normal transport networks. We have some allocations for it but it always one that is very challenged.
