Question 238: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if, in view of the fact that, as per the reply to Parliamentary Question No. 183 of 28 January 2009, it is planned to include a question on the number of persons with a disability in the 2011 census of population in the event of persons ticking the yes box, it would be appropriate to ask a question to establish the type of disability in order that statistical information can be compiled in areas such as autism and other sensory and physical disabilities; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
