I have set myself targets for disability services every single week I have been in this job.
The national disability inclusion strategy, which the committee is due to discuss later, is part of that target. The strategy lists 114 actions. We meet every couple of months to analyse what we have achieved in transport, education, service provision, etc. My answer is "Yes" but I can supply the committee with a more detailed response later after I get information on exactly where we are coming from in respect of the disability sector and the mental health issue.
