No, but, yes, but, the thing is regulation and policies are tokenistic window dressing in order to be seen as 'complience' and not for actually implimenting.

Where would we be if they were all implimented ?

Loose too many jobs with wellness breaking out the hospitals would be on a three day week, you would only two thirds of existing staff to do the work and what would we do with all those people living longer ?

No, no, no can't have wellness breaking out we need to increase collateral damage to UK human resources not reduce the friendly fire of omission to care two hoots about them just so long as they can all be kept economically active, paying direct and indirect taxes by way of fixed penalties etc. etc.

Just accept the spin as well intentioned and try not to burn out before the end of your working life and then keel over so no need to fund your pension tax credits.

Forgive me, but I laughed aloud at this.
What a goal, eh? It's 2008 and they are saying that disability equality will be achieved by 2025. I'll be near retirement age by then.
This is a clear admission that the DDA has failed. What other law would be brought in to take effect some 30 years after it was passed? (The DDA for those who can remember that far back was passed in 1995.)
What if the smoking laws had been brought in last year with the aim of stopping smoking in public places by 2037? The country would have been outraged.
Never mind, at least I am assured of a constant supply of work (presuming that my employers don't discriminate against me) until I retire and probably beyond (after all, the government never meets its targets.)
