The
Welfare Reform Committee of the Scottish Government would like to hear from
people with, or caring for those with, long-term conditions and get their
thoughts about how welfare reform is impacting on them.
About a year ago, the Welfare Reform Committee began an
initiative, ‘Your Say’, to hear directly from those who have been directly
affected by welfare reform. Over the last year the Committee has heard the
stories of people from Glasgow, Annan, Kirkcaldy, Dunoon, Stirling, Coatbridge,
Hamilton, Dundee, Edinburgh, Biggar… the list goes on.
Some of these personal stories are extraordinary, moving,
shocking and often painful. Many firmly
believe that this process of exposing the impacts of welfare reform on the lives
of every-day people is slowly having an effect on the way people feel about
this process.
The Committee is looking to run an evidence session – late
this year, or early next – looking at
the impact of welfare reform on those with long-term conditions, generally
health conditions that last a year or longer, impact on a person’s life, and
may require ongoing care and support.
