434 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will amend the current regulations covering the motorised transport grant to allow any designated area medical officer to sign off rather than the senior AMO; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1424/11]

I have no plans to amend the current regulations covering the issue of a Primary Medical Certificate under the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Regulations 1994 to allow any designated area medical officer to sign off rather than the Senior Area Medical Officer.
