NAWRA has written to the Secretary of State to express our extreme concern that many of the key proposals within the Green Paper – particularly those with financial implications – are not open for consultation.
Highlighting that the purpose of a Green Paper is to allow feedback from relevant organisations, and also pointing to DWP’s statement in the Paper that it is ‘putting the views and voices of disabled people and people with health conditions at the heart of everything we do’, NAWRA says it is –
‘… calling on the government to reissue the Green Paper opening up all proposals for a full consultation, and to commit to genuinely taking the views of disabled people into account when progressing its reforms.’
