An application from this Group in respect of the Scheme of Community Support for Older People was received in my Department on 20th May 2008. The application was incomplete in a number of respects and required further information to be provided to establish (i) the eligibility of a number of older people seeking alarm systems and (ii) that the Group complied with the terms and conditions of the Scheme.
My Department received all outstanding information on 16th September 2008 and the application is now being processed. I expect to receive a recommendation in relation to this application in early October.
