Contains 7 chapters and 56 sections concerning, inter alia, subsidies for disabled persons under 16 years of age, subsidies for disabled persons over 16 year of age and care allowance for pensioners, execution, appeal, secrecy provisions and interim provisions. The Act repeals the Act (No. 124 of 1988) respecting subsidies for disabled persons and the Act respecting child care allowance (No. 444 of 1969) and their respective amendments. |
