Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:59 pm on 23 May 2017.
Leader of the house, I am recently dealing with a number of cases whereby people who’ve previously held blue badges for many years have had their application for renewal refused. When I’ve raised this with the local authority I’ve been told it’s because my constituents no longer meet the criteria for eligibility, although in all cases the constituents affected do have a range of serious medical conditions. I understand the Welsh Government is currently reviewing the guidance and application system to see what can be done about people who fall short of the scoring grid. Could we have a statement from the Welsh Government updating us on this review, please?
