    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, and Senator for your question. On assistive devices, the support programme for this financial year we have been able to support 3,359 eligible persons with disabilities. You will notice that we are only targeting the ones with severe disability. Secondly, the resources are not enough. Therefore, we are only able to support a few with those assistive devices. Thirdly, as a Ministry, we are going to bring a Social Assistance Fund Bill which will bring donors on board once we pass it. So, my appeal is that once that Bill comes to the National Assembly and maybe to this House, kindly let us pass it, so that we can get more funding from donors who are very ready to support us to supplement the exchequer. Then we will be able to buy more devices for PWDs."
