Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Medical Eligibility Criteria for Social Protection Payments: Discussion

1:00 pm

Ms Catherine Cox:

Let me outline what we are specifically looking for. In the case of question No. 10, there is a list of 16 conditions, 12 of which are physical and the remaining three or four relate to a mental health illness or an intellectual disability. We would like that to be looked. We have also suggested how question No. 10 itself might be changed.

There are smaller things that could be done quite quickly without having to go through a year or two of looking into the process.
