A local charity is welcoming efforts to bring the Disability Discrimination Act closer to implementation.
However, the Manx Foundation for the Physically Disabled also believes the move towards equal rights should have happened much sooner.
The act was passed by Tynwald in 2006, but has yet to be introduced.
Now off-Island consultants are looking into the likely cost and timescale of bringing it in.
Wheelchair user and foundation board member Kathryn Williams says it is a welcome move forward, but there's still a long way to go:
'Possibly the most prolific drug dealer the island has seen' sentenced
Ramsey MHK resigns from departmental posts
Jail for mother who violently shook her infant son
Friday sailings in doubt
‘Charity heart screening event saved my life’
