asked Her Majesty's Government:

What consideration they have given to the findings of Leonard Cheshire Disability's report, Up Close and Personal; and whether they will be taking any action further to its conclusion. [HL4708]

We are studying Leonard Cheshire Disability's report and considering the policy implications of its findings. Much work is already progressing across government to tackle the barriers to independent living and enable disabled people to lead more active social lives. This includes our independent living strategy and individual budgets. These build on improvements we made to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, which now requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments to improve access to their services.
