Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

As Minister of State for International and Road Transport, Logistics, Rail and Ports, I wish to advise that the Department of Transport has been tasked with developing a new Vehicle Adaptation Scheme (VAS) to provide financial assistance towards the cost of adapting vehicles for people with disabilities.

The VAS is being developed as a standalone scheme and is not intended to replace the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme, which remains under the remit of the Department of Finance.
