The government expects to complete this year its official guidelines on the setting-up of barrier-free facilities to assist the disabled in the city’s buildings and to implement them next year, Choi Sio Un, chief of the Social Solidarity Department of the Social Welfare Bureau (IAS), said yesterday.
The bureau had announced in June that it expected to publish the guidelines in September.
