I wish to inform the Deputy that Mobility Allowance is administered by the Health Service Executive. If an application is refused, the Health Service Executive issues formal notification informing the applicant of his/her right of appeal and indicating the relevant health office to where the appeal should be sent. Therefore I have arranged for that part of the Deputy's question to be referred to the Health Service Executive, for direct reply to the Deputy.

While application for a Primary Medical Certificate is administered by the Health Service Executive, the appeal process is administered by the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, National Rehabilitation Hospital, Rochestown Avenue, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, an independent board.
