This has gone across the political divide. Sinn Féin colleagues and I, and many Members across the political divide, have raised concerns about the operation of this scheme and the fact that many citizens with disability see their applications rejected and are not able to get primary medical certificates. It is heartbreaking when one hears the individual stories of some of these cases. The board of appeal all resigned en masse. The Minister oversees the board, which met him in March to outline its concerns that this was not fit for purpose. Will he outline to this committee the conversation that it had with him?
