Policy and enforcement bodiesThe key national bodies with responsibility for disability law and policy implementation include: The minister with responsibility for disability policy. One of the government members is given this function; currently it is the welfare minister. The Central Disability Council (Det centrale handicapråd, DCH) consists of 7 members appointed by organisations of disabled people, 7 members representing relevant ministries and local authorities, and a neutral chairman (most often a widely respected former politician).
