National Disability Strategy Recession Implementation Charter

The National Disability Strategy, (NDS), as set out in "Towards 2016" and the "Agreed Programme for Government", embodies the commitment of Government, and the Irish people, to put to right the past exclusion of people with disabilities and mental health needs and to ensure their full and equal participation in all aspects of life in Ireland. "Towards 2016" acknowledges that the needs of people with disabilities form part of the overall lifecycle framework which commits to advancing social inclusion through the provision of person centred services and supports to all members of the public.
