806. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Health the financial support in place for persons with multiple sclerosis to obtain dual-control cars for medical and safety reasons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24067/20]
View answerThe Department of Health does not provide funding towards the cost of obtaining or adapting cars for people with disabilities.
However, tax relief is available towards the purchase of adapted vehicles for eligible drivers and passengers with disabilities under the Revenue Commissioners' Disabled Drivers and Passengers (Tax Concessions) Scheme.
This Scheme falls within the remit of the Minister for Finance.
