While the Health Service Executive assists the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the local authorities in carrying out the assessment for the disabled person's grant, the scheme to which the Deputy refers does not come under the remit of my Department. Accordingly, the Deputy may wish to contact my colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, regarding this matter.
