In response to a question submitted on behalf of the Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind, Councillor Bryan Lodge reported that this was just one of the many difficult budgetary decisions which the Council had had to make and added that this was an extension of the decision made in 1999 which, under the new proposal, would extend to items where there was an element of fitting required. He also indicated that support would be provided for those people with extreme difficulties. |
