As of yesterday, the status of decisions on the following QuaNGOs was as follows...
* Equality and Human Rights Commission - to be retained (but with a focus on core functions and 'better use of taxpayers money')
* Equality 2025 - will be retained and will advise on areas covered by other relevant bodies that cease to exist.
* Disability Living Allowance Advisory Board - abolished (transfer of functions to Department for Work and Pensions and Equality 2025)
* Disability Employment Advisory Committee - abolished (transfer function to Equality 2025)
* Disabled Passengers Transport Advisory Committee - abolished (Department for Transport will consider other ways to consult disabled passengers)
* General Social Care Council - abolished
* Independent Living Fund - still under consideration ('options being considered')
Best wishes
Mark
