The primary medical certificate is a requirement for the disabled drivers and disabled passengers scheme. A Supreme Court decision in June resulted in uncertainty about the current legal basis for these assessments. Currently the HSE is not processing applications. Is there a timeline for when people can expect these assessments to resume? If legislation is required, it is essential that it is brought forward in a timely manner to ensure that those with disabilities, including those with multiple sclerosis, can access supports provided under the disabled drivers and disabled passengers scheme.
