It is recommended that the purpose, objectives and framework of the 10-year review plan presented here are disseminated to the disability sector for their consideration and comment. This consultation process will also involve identification of prioritisation criteria, in the event that by 2011 the 10-year review is unable to proceed in its current form.

The post-census Disability Survey is an important source of data offering a statistically valid measure of the life experiences of disabled people. Discontinuing this survey will create a sizeable gap in the available information, which has the potential to undermine the success of the 10-year review project. Consideration also needs to be given to the potential impact of the current data gaps identified for the 10-year review.

Recommendation 19: Finalise the 10-year review of the Disability Strategy in consultation with agencies, disabled people and disabled persons' membership organisations.

Recommendation 20: Review the 2011 post-census Disability Survey,to measure any change in life outcomes for disabled people since 2001.
