Significant progress has been made in the reconstitution of the medical board of appeal for the disabled drivers and disabled passengers tax concessions scheme. It is expected that the board will resume its meetings very shortly. I appointed a new chairperson to the board on 14 March 2005 and I understand that a new secretary is being recruited and will be in place shortly. As indicated in my reply to the Deputy on 9 March, I will arrange for the new secretary to the board, when in place, to contact the individual concerned in regard to his appeal.
