The Chairwoman of a disabled charity (run by disabled people) was on Radio 4 tonight; Liz Sayce, chief executive of Disability Rights UK.
She said that for the £25,000 per job subsidy for some of these Remploy factories, 8 disabled people could be given assistance to work in mainstream jobs and be integrated rather than separated.
