There are currently 311 persons registered with the National Commission for Person with Disabilities (KNPD) who are on the civil service payroll.
Such registered persons were free to apply for every call for applications for civil service vacancies, even if they did not have all the eligibility requisites, so long as they could perform the major part of their duties.
The information was given by Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi in reply to a parliamentary question by Anthony Agius Decelis (PL).
