Support to Persons with Disabilities
198. The Government is committed to increasing the number of day rehabilitation, residential care and respite service places for persons with disabilities. As at end‑2023, the total number of service places had been increased to 36 400. The Government will also allocate funding of about $130 million from the Community Care Fund to implement a three‑year pilot scheme starting from the third quarter of 2024 to provide an additional subsidy of $500 per month for employed disabled recipients of CSSA as an incentive for employment. The scheme is expected to benefit some 6 800 persons.
