The National Disability Authority indicated that it provides independent and evidence-informed advice to Government. Is this advice accepted, or is there an improved acceptance from Departments? I ask that because I often find, with some Departments, that they almost say disability is an issue for the Minister and Department it falls under whereas it is not. It is across the board. Every Department and public body has a responsibility. Is the NDA finding an improved acceptance of responsibility to change things?
