    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The delay in submission of Assessment Reports for Persons with Disabilities to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities is as a result of a sharp increase in the number of persons with disabilities coming out for assessment against a limited capacity at the Ministry headquarters to verify the assessment and submit them to the Council. However, the Ministry has not stopped submitting the reports to the Council. Out of 5,825 assessment reports received as at 29th November, 2010, the Ministry headquarters has verified and submitted 2,547 reports and a further 105 reports are ready for collection. A special team has been constituted to work on the remaining 3,173 cases to hasten submission of reports to the Council. (b) In order to expedite forwarding of Medical Board records for persons with disabilities to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, the Ministry has constituted 89 Medical Disability Assessment Committees in public hospitals, and more will be constituted in the coming months. Thank you."
