PEOPLE wanting school uniform assistance will be assessed according to need, Social Services and Urban Development Minister Frankie Campbell said yesterday.
The minister further insisted there was no "hard and fast rule" at the Department of Social Services stipulating those who received assistance last year would not receive help this year.
However, he admitted there was a possibility some students could miss receiving uniform assistance as his ministry is no different from others in that it is financially constrained.
