Given that the Government is trying to save resources, where possible, it seems to me that it would be appropriate to give responsibility of this nature to the health and safety officers who are normally employed in all organisations. Such officers are employed to deal with any problems or dangers which may arise in organisations, including organisations which are involved with people with disabilities. I wonder whether health and safety officers could be asked to ensure that buildings are in compliance with the regulations which have been introduced in the interests of people with disabilities. Safety considerations arise if a building is not in compliance with the regulations. Would it be possible to give health and safety officers a role in this regard?
