In Saxony-Anhalt, the proportion of special schools in the education system as well as the proportion of students with special needs has increased steadily since 1990. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities shall, however, a gradual settlement of the separate school system near. What is your position taken with regard to inclusive education in Saxony-Anhalt, which consequently had the closure of special schools to follow?
The UN Disability Convention also commits Saxony-Anhalt inclusive education for students and to enable students with special educational needs. Many affected families are afraid, however, that mainstream schools are ill prepared for this goal. The FDP is therefore in for a real choice without reservation costs between special school and mainstream school. Such a choice requires first, the improvement of conditions for inclusive education in mainstream schools. These include barrier-free school buildings, training of teaching staff, the provision of special teaching and learning materials and the necessary assistance from additional staff. Second, genuine freedom of choice also means the services of the special education system to obtained.
In the course of reform are very area was the large counties. How do you want to claim the Disability Advisory Council to employ full-time Disability Officer?
The country has appointed a representative to the needs of people with disabilities. In the scheme is to be recorded. The counties, in their own sphere of action to decide whether to use full-time Disability Officer. The FDP recommends the counties to do this to oversee all responsibilities of the districts of the conditions for full participation, but it is not legally force them to.
Do you have the intention of social disadvantage offsets, especially the blind and deaf as well as the liberation of money from the license fees required for people with disabilities to reduce, limit or abolish?
The FDP has no plans to cut the Blind and Deaf money, restrict or abolish it. With regard to the exemption from the license fee obligation does the FDP no need for change. The proposed by the Prime Ministers new funding model from 2013, a broadcasting future contribution will be levied. Unlike the current system is planned that people with disabilities who are not covered by a social tax exemption because they are financially fit future for the first time of contributors in the amount of so-called third fee subject. Currently, the public broadcasting only a low percentage of accessible services for people with disabilities. As long as this offer has not been expanded substantially, we see liberals a mandatory fee for people with disabilities as not called for and reject them. The FDP also advocates for the improvement of barrier-free radio program. We are of the view that this a wrong order is chosen. First, the portion of the barrier-free offer can be increased significantly and this could possibly think about changes in the obligation to contribute be. At least it is not acceptable for people to participate financially with disabilities first and then use these funds for the expansion of accessible services. The amendment to the Prime Ministers' Conference in Magdeburg on 21 to refrain from October 2010 on a survey of deaf-blind-third fee is not sufficient, since only a very small number of people affected.
The state of Saxony-Anhalt performance as an employer, the employment rate of disabled workers only because some ministries these "overachievers". If each department meet these and over-deliver? How could you think that the willingness of private employers increase of employing people with disabilities?
Promoting the participation of disabled people in society must of course include that the integration of stakeholders in the labor market increases. For this is of course the one hand, a successful economic policy is needed that generally leads to the fact that unemployment is down and increase the employment opportunities of all people. Especially under the aspect of growing skills shortages in the coming years, offering people with disabilities, more than ever to find the chance for a job. It must be to create jobs tailor, tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and the company. The foundation for this is laid in childhood. If disabled and non disabled children learn and grow up together and held an early, individual support, then the interaction in the workplace will be taken for granted. Another is to reduce existing barriers to entry. This includes expanding the personal budget for work to enable lifelong learning through additional training and to develop supported employment in order to bring such people out of the workshops on the labor market. The FDP would like to see if all the departments of public administration, the employment rate severely disabled workers would more than meet. The
to date in Saxony-Anhalt approved personal budgets are mainly SGB XII-budget (by inclusion). There are in the country have hardly intermodal budget. The determination of the individual assistance needs based on criteria of a governing residential facilities under contract, and the grant budget in the form of packages are usually so low that it needs - not meet - especially in people with high support needs. What are the causes that you want to change this and if so how?
The country will maintain its practice of all in its own right and stop supervision related service providers to consider when processing applications for first the possibility of granting the funds as a personal budget. The determination of the individual aid requirements for all services is the integration of aid after the framework agreement under the Social Security Code XII. Here is the required cover is not in every case upon the size of the budget. Still arise in the calculation of the budget in many cases, sums that are contrary to the goal of increasing the number of personal budgets. This practice is in need of revision in every case. The aim must be, by a non-bureaucratic and fair process possible Services to use a budget, also to increase a more diverse market of creating on qualifying services and thus to create a wider choice of service delivery.
People worry that access to medical services, especially in rural areas, in the next few years even worse. Lack of public transport accessibility of the offices and make the situation worse for older and disabled people. Do you see opportunities for improvement?
Medical care is sown in rural areas in Saxony-Anhalt thin. Despite the sole responsibility of the physicians' associations as part of the medical Self-government has adopted the policy of this problem. To guarantee the future in the face of demographic change and medical social services in the area, it is from the perspective of the FDP to the foremost tasks of rural development to create appropriate conditions. The Federal Ministry of Health has this already initiated relief and incentives to make the establishment of young doctors in rural areas more attractive.
