Unequal impact? Coronavirus, disability and access to services: government response
Unequal impact? Coronavirus, disability and access to services: government response This is the government's response to the Women and Equalities Committee's interim report on temporary provisions in the Coronavirus Act and the use of these for disabled people. The report states that it has taken several actions to achieve an appropriate balance between responding to the pandemic and ensuring that disabled people have access to the services they need. These relate to Care Act Easements, removing Mental Health Act provisions from the Coronavirus Act and deciding not to renew the modification notice regarding education, health and care assessments.
