Regarding the amendment proposal submitted to the Committee by deputy Gordana Rajkov to article 19 of the Bill, calling for a specification of the term of medical aids so as to forestall potentially diverse interpretations of the expression “not even with the use of medical aids”, the Committee concluded to approach the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and request an explanation whether the words “not even with the use of medical aids” include persons using wheelchairs as medical aids.
