Vol. 452 No. 2
22 Mr. Hughes asked the Minister for the Environment if he will implement a scheme of grant-aid to assist disabled people suffering from a specified range of illnesses or invalid children to enable tarmacadam to be put in an area outside their homes for service purposes and to assist with rehabilitation. [7471/95]
Under the disabled person's grant scheme, which is administered by local authorities, assistance is provided to adapt, extend, or provide additional facilities in, a house to render it more suitable for the needs of a disabled person; the facilities may include the provision of a ramp or other such facility to allow ease of access for the disabled member of the household.
