The New National Party is appalled at the type of treatment meted out to the elderly citizens by the Tillman Thomas administration.
 
 The party believes that while there is nothing wrong with reregistering persons for a programme, it is inhumane to force disabled persons as well as those who are confined to their homes for health reasons, to visit an office to reregister. The Government must be aware that there are persons who have no one to collect a form for them and many who are still unaware of the new requirements.
 
 The New National Party empathize with the many senior citizens of the country who are inconvenienced in this way and believes that the government could have used resources available and send officers to the homes of such persons to complete the new forms..
