The Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Schemeis underpinned by statute and comes under the remit of the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners.

The extent of the involvement of Health Service Executive (HSE) Community Medical Doctors in the Scheme relates to making a professional clinical determination as to whether an individual applicant meets the specified medical criteria for a Primary Medical Certificate, which is a requirement for the Scheme.

As the Deputy's question relates to a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
