We’re delighted that members of the Policy Unit of the DoN were at Westminster for the ABI forum today. Chris Bryant outlined how everyone with an ABI should have the support suitable for them to have the fullest life possible. The ABI Strategy is due our summer 2023.

“This is not a trivial piece of economics, this is at the core of the wellbeing of the nation” Martin Lewis warns of the devastating mental health impacts of the cost of living crisis, telling Robert Peston that it has caused people to consider taking their own lives #Peston
