The health transport support Bill is to provide for a scheme to make individual payments as a contribution towards transport costs for people on low incomes with severe disabilities who cannot access public transport. What is the up-to-date position with that Bill?

The Bill is currently being drafted. I have spoken to both the Minister for Health and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and requested that the Bill be published and brought to the House this year so it can be funded in the Estimates for next year.
