The Act also amends section 13 by inserting a new section 13 (4/1) (functions of the Office), a new section 13/1, 16, 19 20, 21, 26, 27 and 35. The amendments are intended to strengthen measures to ensure more efficient and easier access and utilisation of public facilities as well as welfare and other State assistance programs are available to persons with disabilities. The functions of Office of National Disabled Persons Empowerment have also been amended to increase their powers and duties concerning supervision and inspection, as well as the provision of advice and assistance to ensure that persons with disabilities receive the services they are entitled to. It also establishes a Disabilities Service Centre which is to be the focal service provider.
