Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 463, 552 and 553 together.

I have provided the Deputy with the figures for numbers of applicants in receipt of the Mobility Allowance and the Motorised Transport Grant for the last full year which those figures are available, i.e. 2011, in the table below. I have referred the Deputy's specific question regarding the number of applications for each scheme received but not yet approved to the Health Service Executive, for direct reply to the Deputy.
