Can't answer yes or no.:
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a treaty that has been signed and ratified by many different countries (including the UK) in which those countries commit to promoting and protecting disabled people’s human rights.
Local authorities and NHS bodies are required to have due regard to the UNCRPD and its optional protocol: s. 8 ALNET.
Those provisions thus have much greater potential significance in Wales than they do in England (where there no similar ‘due regard’ obligations in relation to these international law obligations. It remains to be seen how that impacts in practice.
