Extra episode: Interview with the disability minister

from Access All: Disability News and Mental Health · host BBC Sounds

Disability minister Sir Stephen Timms talks to Access All's Emma Tracey a month after the government climbdown on benefits changes. They discuss the Access To Work scheme which Sir Stephen says is no longer the government's "best kept secret" because more people are using it. Plus they talk about a newly announced set of five collaboration committees featuring people with lived experience of disability and other stakeholders on important areas like youth employment.
