"The NHS Consultants’ Association believes that
ill thought out reform to the DLA, with reduction of financial support to some
of the most vulnerable members of society is not only unjustified, but also a
false economy which will result in cost implications for carers and additional
use of NHS services and resources."
Clive Peedell, on behalf of NHS
Consultants’ Association
"It
is important that in the quest to support employment in everyone, abled
or disabled, that we do not underestimate the problems that many people
with long term disabilities have in carrying out even simple day to
day functions. Insensitive assessment of disability and failure to
understand the complexity of their problems might inadvertently result
in removal of their benefits, causing more problems in an already
vulnerable population."
Clare Gerada, Chair of Royal College of GP's
