The State shall ensure that the marginalized persons are provided with the necessary
auxiliary
services that will restore their social functioning and participation in community affairs.
Toward
this end, the Department of Social Welfare and Development shall develop and

programs on auxiliary social services that respond to the needs of marginalized
disabled persons.
With the implementation of the Local Government Code of 1991, Department of Social
Welfare
and Development devolved the above services for abandoned, neglected, abused and
unattached

for provision of these services shall rest on the mayor who shall assign the
implementation of these services to the DSWD devolved social worker in the
municipality/city. When there are no social workers among devolved staff, the mayor
should hire at least one to ensure effective implementation of these services. The
DSWD shall develop the standards of these services, and assist in building the
capability of the assigned social worker through training and technical consultation and
regular monitoring of these services.
The Social Worker shall provide these services through the following procedures:
A. Provide subsidized program for the acquisition of prosthetic devices and Medical
Intervention on Specialty Services. This service shall assist the marginalized disabled
person to improve his physical residual capacity through medical intervention and/or
use
of technical devices. The City/Municipal Social Worker shall undertake the following
steps:
1. Inform the community of the availability of the assistance for physical restoration
services for disabled persons.
2. Refer the client to a doctor in the Regional Hospital or any other government
hospital specializing in the provision of physical restoration devices for medical
and physical assessment to determine the need for physical restoration.
