Order of Business

I welcome that and the fact we are working together, leading, and that we will do what we can for the poor and vulnerable in this country.
I ask for a debate and review on the whole issue of disability and disability allowances. The problem is that people tend to place all disabilities into the one basket. That cannot be done because there are multiple layers of disability. The people who would have been affected by these cuts were those who are most vulnerable, who have a disability, will never be able to go to work and will always need long-term care. Supervision for those in this group who are aged over 18 years must be reviewed.
