Chief Minister: States are not prioritising plan for disability changes

Guernsey's Chief Minister has said the government have not prioritised their project to improve quality of life for disabled islanders.

The Disability Strategy was agreed upon two years ago but a report has said it is making slow progress.

Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq said it's because the States have not prioritised the changes above other projects.

A lack of resources and staff have also been blamed.

Plans for disability discrimination laws were meant to be set out in December, now that will not happen.
