I have no direct responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the medical board of appeal for the disabled drivers and disabled passengers (tax concessions) scheme. However, the Department of Finance and the Department of Health and Children are reconstituting the medical board of appeal for the scheme. Progress has been made and it is hoped that the new arrangements will be put in place shortly. I will arrange for the new secretary to the board, when in place, to contact the individual concerned about his appeal.
