Alert me about debates like this

I have said much before about the proportion of the population represented on the Disabled Persons' Register and to what extent this is reliable. People are unclear about how to get on to the register. There is no routine by which the whole industrial field is periodically combed to find disabled persons who can be put on the register. Many do not come on to the register until they lose their employment or are in danger of losing it. It is often difficult to persuade people to go on to the register when they are in regular employment. They ask what benefit it would be to them as they have a job and are all right.
