The review of the disabled persons grant scheme, which was first signalled in March 2003, is being finalised in my Department. On its completion, it will be possible to determine the changes, if any, required to the regulations governing the scheme to ensure that the funding available is directed at those persons in greatest need of such assistance. The future funding of the scheme will be included in the outcome of the review and will be addressed by the Government in that context.
