Disabled Drivers and Passengers Scheme: Former Members of the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal
Dr. Cara McDonagh:
As I understand it, we are meant to be feeding information into the task group which is looking at all the benefits for transport for people with disabilities. I do not think we necessarily have a remit to create a new scheme. We are charged with informing them of the issues with the current scheme, particularly the medical criteria. It is actually called the criteria subgroup. We are currently looking at international schemes. That is what we looked at during our last meeting.
