Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu Friday pledged more government efforts to enhance social security and social services for the country's 83 million people with disabilities.

"Building the two systems of social security and social services should be the focus of our work for the disabled," he said at a conference in Beijing.

He urged authorities to give priority to solving the most-complained and urgent problems of the disabled people and work hard to provide institutional guarantee for their lives and career development.

He told authorities to draw up programs to help the disabled in the coming five years.

He also said the government should step up efforts to draw up regulations on barrier-free access to public facilities, disability prevention and rehabilitation of the disabled.
