Parliament should soon be considering legislation aimed at bringing much needed assistance to people with disabilities.This promise was made by Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs, Kirk Humphrey, during an open day for Camp Reach at the National Disabilities Unit on Wednesday.Speaking to the media at the camp, where 25 disabled children are being hosted during the summer break, the minister said that the advisory board tasked with outlining ways to improve the lives of disabled persons on the island was at an advanced stage with its work.“As you know we would have launched an advisory committee on disabilities to advise the minister in relation to improving the lives of persons with disabilities. That committee is at an advanced stage in its work, and we anticipate that we would have that report within the next few weeks.
