Tue 08 Aug 2008Disability body defends contract for Rehab
THE STATE body that advises the Government on disability issues has rejected suggestions of a conflict of interest in its decision to award a major contract to disability services provider Rehab.
The chairwoman of the National Disability Authority (NDA), Angela Kerins, is also chief executive of Rehab, one of the largest disability service providers in the State. The authority last month awarded a €200,000 contract to Rehab Enterprises - a division of Rehab - for support and advice in relation to its "excellence through accessibility" awards.
