The decision by this government to scrap a dedicated minister for disabled people sends a clear message that the 16 million people in the UK currently living with a disability are not a priority for them.
With increases in costs of living having a greater impact on those living with disabilities, it is unacceptable that the government chooses to not have someone solely dedicated to the interests of the disability community.
Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby will continue to advocate for inclusivity and support the disability community.
