Disability Services Minister Under Fire Over Hunter Visit

BY IAN CROUCH

The Public Service Association has described as disgraceful a decision by the state's new Disability Services Minister to meet with big business instead of the disabled community during his visit to Newcastle.

The PSA says Ray Williams spent yesterday's visit talking up the profit making possibilities from the National Disability Insurance Scheme to business leaders.

The union says the minister missed a golden opportunity to find out exactly how the rollout of the scheme is affecting disabled people, their carers and support workers.
