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 Patsy Carr:

Deputy Donnelly mentioned an assessment for a wheelchair. I understand that is done in the primary care setting in the HSE. While a quantum of service is funded, it is only a quantum and I do not know what the situation is in the case the Deputy has raised. I know that primary care does the assessments and, based on funding available, provides the wheelchairs to individuals on a priority basis.
