Ms Sarah Lennon:

I will follow on from much of what Mr. Duffy has said. Inclusion Ireland has stressed and Senator Colette Kelleher has reflected back to us the importance of highlighting people with intellectual disability in this regard. I mentioned a figure of 25%. That is a HSE figure. We know that at least one in two people with an intellectual disability has no contact with health services at all. They are in the community. They include members of the Traveller community. We know that Travellers are five times more likely to have either an intellectual or a learning disability. We know that 40% of young people under the age of 16 on custodial remand have a learning disability. We know that about 40% of people who were homeless have a disability. These people are not necessarily in contact with health services. They are in the community. We need to think a little bit - and I do not know whether it is beyond the bounds of the report - about why. We have people who are resource deficient and socially isolated who have intellectual disability and are experiencing mental health difficulties. There are other things that we can do that are beyond the treatment we can give. Early intervention is absolutely an option, but what can we put in place structurally to prevent people from becoming socially isolated? There is much research, including the likes of the longitudinal study on aging. The intellectual disability supplement to that said that people with intellectual disability are twice as likely to be socially isolated as anybody else is. That level of isolation and resource deficiency has a huge role to play in people's mental health.
