It's something I wrote which touches on how the models are used by the UK's Equality Act and specifically how they relate to HIV.
Hope you find this useful.

Subject: Re: Governments that have embraced a Social Model paradigm
Hi Janice, Norway's Anti-Discrimination Accessibility Act 2008 is also strongly rooted in the social model. The text from the unofficial translation reads "The Act shall help to dismantle disabling barriers created by society and to prevent new ones from being created." However, like many other countries, Norway continues to struggle with implementation in a variety of areas. You can access the english translation here http://www.regjeringen.no/upload/BLD/Diskriminering/Engelsk/Lovteksten%20eng-22.09%20ELR.CBK.doc

Hello colleagues,
Is anyone compiling a list of which governments have made the move from the traditional medical model to a social model of disability, as they try to implement change? I know it is happening in dribs and drabs across the world, at National, state and local government levels, although not consistently. New Zealand embraced the social model 13 years ago...what other countries have followed suit?
Janice,
