310 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be approved for a primary medical certificate. [13473/03]
The medical assessment for and granting of a primary medical certificate for the purpose of the disabled drivers and disabled passengers tax concessions scheme is carried out by the senior area medical officer in the relevant health board. This function is to assist the Department of Finance who have statutory responsibility for the disabled drivers and disabled passengers tax concessions scheme.
Accordingly, my Department has asked the chief executive officer of the Western Health Board to investigate this matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
