Fair Spending for Disabled People

This Assembly:

• Is concerned that while preparing public spending cuts, the UK Government has not adequately assessed their impact on disabled people.

• Notes that many disabled people face challenges gaining employment and rely on state financial support to help with the extra living costs associated with their disability.

• Believes the Comprehensive Spending Review proposals should be subject to a robust disability impact assessment.

• Urges Welsh Assembly Government to work with Westminster Government to ensure spending cuts will not exacerbate poverty and the exclusion of disabled people.
