I refer to your inquiry in respect of the repair of the wheelchair lift at the school to which you refer.

My Department's Planning and Building Unit does not appear to have a record of receiving correspondence in relation to the repair of the wheelchair lift from the school in question.

If the school in question considers that there are works of an emergency nature requiring attention, it is open to the school authority to submit an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme.

Details of the scheme, together with an application form for grant assistance, can be accessed on my Department's website.

I trust this information is of assistance to you.
