Written Answers. - Health Board Allowances.
The allowances and grants for people with disabilities that come under the aegis of my Department, including mobility allowance, are currently being examined by an inter-health board working group. The deliberations of this group are nearing completion and any changes in the schemes will be considered in light of the group's recommendations and available resources.
