Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Challenges facing Camphill Communities of Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Miriam Moffitt:

My daughter has been in Camphill for the past 16 to 18 years. She is 33 years old and has considerable intellectual disabilities, on top of which she is blind. She receives 24 hour care in Camphill. My totally blind, mentally handicapped daughter receives total care in Camphill at a cost of €33,000 per annum. One would not get a bed and breakfast for that amount.
