Vol. 520 No. 4
102 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children if there is any grant scheme to encourage private minibus and coach hire companies to make their vehicles wheelchair friendly, from his Department or from any other source. [15818/00]
While health boards give grants to voluntary organisations providing services to people with disabilities to purchase wheelchair accessible vehicles, there is no grant scheme under the auspices of my Department to encourage private minibus and coach hire companies to make their vehicles wheelchair friendly.
