Thanks Jenny, a helpful analysis. The neoliberal stranglehold on policy is unlikely to be shaken off without a fight.

Subject: Disability policy 1990 and 2010 - an evidence-free zone
Sent: 21 Jan 2013 11:28
I've written a blogpost, looking at the context of the origins of Disability Living Allowance in 1990 and its demise in 2010. In both cases policy was driven by political intent, rather than evidence - but in each case the political intent, and the results, were very different, even though it was the same political party driving the changes.
