Disability transport support Bill

Summary

Denis Naughten asks why replacement transport support legislation is delayed for people with disabilities; the Taoiseach says it will appear in the new year.

It is 22 months since the motorised transport grant and mobility allowance scheme left people with a disability marooned in their homes awaiting the establishment of an alternative scheme in the health (transport support) Bill which was to be published in September 2014. What is the delay in the publication of the Bill and when will we see it?

The Deputy will see it in the new year, as he is well aware. There have been quite a number of complications about that.
