Dr Ballal Seddique is a Tower Hamlets-based GP who has recently started a new role with the Connect to Work Programme, a government employment support programme for adults facing barriers to employment such as disabilities, long-term health conditions, housing instability, or caring responsibilities.
The government has announced increased funding to a scheme that will allow people to install adaptations such as stairlifts, ramps, accessible bathrooms and assistive technologies in their homes.
