asked the Minister for Health if any proposals are before his Department for introducing a charter for the disabled; and, if so, if he will make a statement on the matter.

I presume that the charter which the Deputy has in mind would take the form of legislation. There are no formal proposals for such legislation before my Department, but I have received representations from a number of bodies on how the services for disabled might be improved or expanded. My attention has also been directed to the provisions of British legislation in this field, and the possibility of seeking similar developments here. I am having the various suggestions examined.
