Day services for adults with disabilities provide a network of support for over 25,000 people who have a wide spectrum of need, ranging from those with severe and profound disabilities who are likely to need long-term specialist service provision to people with lower support needs and greater potential for community participation and inclusion. Pending completion of the national estimates, budgetary and service planning process for 2013 it is not possible to predict the day service levels to be provided by the HSE next year.

In relation to the specific query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service issue it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
