§ Mr. DorrellWe are always pleased to learn of new equipment coming on to the market which has the potential to assist people who have disabilities. It would 521W not, however, be appropriate for the Department to promote this or other individual products. It is open to the manufacturer of the Link device to consult consumer organisations about ways in which to promote it.
