National Disability Strategy criticised for lacking integration and disabled people's input.
Conclusion
Disabled people and their representative organisations told us they have had little to no influence over the National Disability Strategy.

Only a strategy which integrates different policy areas—such as education, health, social care, employment and transport—will have a truly transformational effect on the lives of disabled people.
