Disabled islanders in Guernsey are facing an even longer wait for the Disability Strategy to be implemented.

It was voted in by States members in November 2013 but it still might not come into play until November 2017.

An update report is being debated by politicians today; it repeatedly mentions a lack of staff resources.

Back in November 2013 we gathered to congratulate our deputies on passing the Disability and Inclusion Strategy. By contrast, two years on our States members are debating an Update Report that represents a sobering reality check, full of references to lack of staff resources. So, sadly, celebrations aren't really in order this time.
