Disabled people in public appointments

Evidence for the Lord Holmes Review of the representation of disabled people in public appointments

This paper shows the wide disparity between the number of public appointments of disabled people and non-disabled people. While, last year, the percentage of disabled people appointed rose slightly as the percentage of non-disabled appointees fell, there remains little movement in terms of the number of disabled people appointed year on year: the range of non-disabled people appointed during the last five years is between 1,087 and 2,150 (a range of 1063), and the range of disabled people appointed only ranges between 50 and 102 (a range of 52).
