To ask the Minister for Health if the material transport grant for persons with a disability who require a car for going to work is being maintained and at what rate per annum. [1015/13]

I understand that the Deputy is referring to the Motorised Transport Grant. I can assure the Deputy that the Motorised Transport Grant is still available to people with a disability to enable them to retain employment, subject to satisfying the eligibility and means criteria. The rate of the maximum Motorised Transport Grant payable remains unchanged and is currently €5,020.50
