In the run-up to the Housing & Social Care Accessibility Summit in Dundee, Jimmy Black and Kieran Findlay discuss the practical housing issues often confronted by people with disabilities with the campaigning MSP Pam Duncan-Glancy.

Pam, who represents a Glasgow regional seat and is deputy convener of the Cross Party Parliamentary Group on Disability, will chair a session at the event in September.

The discussion touches on her role in a public consultation on accessible housing, which fed into a wider commission on housing, and the following conclusions of that report.

They also speak about the wider benefits of people being able to live independently and how important it is that people with accessibility requirements are involved in these discussions.

A transcript of this episode is available here.

Jimmy Black has written a blog to accompany the episode here.
