Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Dr. Aideen Hartney:
With respect, while countries may have legal entitlements to services and supports, we would need to do further work to establish whether that does really lead to those rights being realised or whether there are gaps that would need further attention. I do not believe it is a binary "Yes" or "No". I would like to do additional work if I were to answer that question in a binary way. With regard to looking at good practice in other countries that is absolutely within our remit and something we would do. Advice to the Government would be made on that basis.
