Bernard J. Durkan
Question:146 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs the reason disability benefit has been refused in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that her general practitioner is adamant that this person is not suitable for the type of wide range of employment suggested by the appeals officer and that no medical practitioner could certify her as fit for alternative employment unless mistaking the facts thereby incurring possible liability to an employer; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
