The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps the department are taking to mark international day of disabled people.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

The Department has not taken any specific steps to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities this year. However, we remain committed to championing the rights of disabled people.

As the Lead Minister for Disability (LMD) for the Department, I will continue to work with fellow LMDs across the Government towards our shared goal of breaking down barriers to opportunity for disabled people.
