Introduction
Disability relates to the interaction between the person with the impairment and the environment. It has a lot to do with discrimination and has a lot in common with other attitudes and behaviours such as racism and sexism that are not acceptable in our society.
The focus for the ADHB is two fold: 1) to work cross-sectorally to ensure that disability needs are met as part of ADHB health (business as usual) services and 2) where business as usual cannot meet a need, examine and implement activity to ensure that there is ease of access to services for disabled people.
