"Mr President, we on the Petitions Committee are well aware of concerns about this issue because of the many submissions and petitions we receive on the subject. All those who have full enjoyment of their faculties may be forgiven for easily forgetting or not realising the difficulties faced by people with disabilities. I learnt this lesson myself when I faced the loss of sight in one eye because of a detached retina. That was relatively easily fixed and I was very fortunate, whereas many millions are not so fortunate because they have permanent disabilities.
Our opinion is about encouraging good practice, but we must all be aware of the challenge we face in delivering promises and therefore be wary of raising hopes that we may not be able to afford in these difficult economic times."@en1
