Disability Bill 2004

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Disability Bill 2004 would give people with disabilities a right to have their health and education needs assessed and to receive a statement of the services they should get, with complaints, appeals and court enforcement where services are not provided. It would also require public bodies to improve access to buildings, services, information, transport and heritage sites, support employment of people with disabilities in the public service, restrict the use of genetic information, and promote accessible design and broadcasting. These rights would remain subject to available resources and practical or safety limits.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to enable provision to be made for the assessment of health and education needs occasioned to persons with disabilities by their disabilities, to enable Ministers of the Government to make provision, consistent with the resources available to them and their obligations in relation to their allocation, for services to meet those needs, to provide for the preparation of plans by the appropriate Ministers of the Government in relation to the provision of certain of those, and certain other services, to provide for appeals by those persons in relation to the non-provision of those services, to make further and better provision in respect of the use by those persons of public buildings and their employment in the public service and thereby to facilitate generally access by such persons to certain such services and employment and to promote equality and social inclusion and to provide for related matters
