I asked Mr Lamb 4 Questions:
1) What is your opinion on the governments recent decision to make cuts to
the funds of disabled students in higher education?
2) Do you feel those who benefit from the DSA funds will be discouraged to
further their education and in some cases feel victimized by the government?
3) University is a very important time for young people. Students are
moving away from home and learning to live independently. With the cuts made
mostly to physical learning support, could this potentially mean mental and
emotional support service could be threatened with cuts in the future.
4) Playing devil advocate, universities do get given a lot of money and
support from the government and other industries. Can you see the reasoning
behind their decision?
"...As Health Minister, Norman has worked to reform our broken care system, introducing a cap on care costs and ensuring that carers get the support they need. Norman is leading the drive to join-up our health and care system, with a greater focus on preventing ill-health. He is also challenging the NHS to ensure that mental health gets treated with the same priority as physical health, with access waiting standards being introduced next year. In January 2015 Norman was appointed to the Liberal Democrat General Election Cabinet as the party's Health spokesperson" - http://www.normanlamb.org.uk/about
