The Government indicates in its reply to the Committee's comments that structures have been set up for adaptation and the promotion of disabled persons. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would describe in greater detail the measures taken with a view to providing and evaluating services for vocational guidance, vocational training, placement, employment and other related services for disabled persons. Please also indicate whether existing services for workers generally are used with the necessary adaptation wherever this is possible and appropriate.
