Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Joint Committee on Education and Skills and Joint Committee on Health
Supports for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Ms Simonetta Ryan:

We have done a considerable amount of work to advance the 33 actions. I understand, as I have read the previous presentations to the committee, that people are frustrated because they do not see enough action on the ground. What I tried to show in my presentation was that there is a great deal being done but this is a complex area and it is difficult to show where things are happening immediately or quickly. The most obvious action to point out is the large amount of work done on the Make Work Pay report, consulting people with a disability to try to come up with the best way to take matters forward. In terms of some of the other steps we have taken, I will ask one of my colleagues to contribute.
