MORE GOVERNMENT JOBS FOR THE DISABLED
*****
THE GOVERNMENT IS PROVIDING MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISABLED IN ITS EFFORTS TO INTEGRATE THEM INTO THE COMMUNITY.
A TOTAL OF 168 DISABLED PERSONS WERE RECRUITED TO THE CIVIL SERVICE IN THE LAST FINANCIAL YEAR, COMPARED WITH 97 IN THE PREVIOUS 12-MONTH PERIOD.
ACCORDING TO A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE BRANCH, THE NUMBER OF DISABLED PERSONS EMPLOYED IN THE CIVIL SERVICE HAD JUMPED FROM ABOUT 900 FIVE YEARS AGO TO ABOUT 2 400 AT PRESENT.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID DISABLED PERSONS WERE CONSIDERED ON EQUAL TERMS WITH OTHER APPLICANTS BUT, IF FOUND SUITABLE FOR EMPLOYMENT, THEY WERE GIVEN AN APPROPRIATE DEGREE OF PREFERENCE FOR APPOINTMENT.
+THUS A DISABLED PERSON WOULD NORMALLY BE APPOINTED TO A PARTICULAR POST EVEN THOUGH HE MAY NOT BE ABLE, BECAUSE OF HIS DISABILITY, TO PERFORM THE DUTIES OF EVERY POST IN THE RANK, + HE SAID.
HE REAFFIRMED THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY OF PLACING THE DISABLED IN APPROPRIATE JOBS WHEREVER POSSIBLE WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL POLICY OF INTEGRATING THE DISABLED INTO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PROCESS OF VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION AND EVENTUAL GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT.
