Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

New Standard Operating Procedure for Assessment of Need under the Disability Act 2005: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Deirdre Kenny:

Ms Kirkpatrick referred to the speech and language therapy primary care services review report. Speech and language therapists working in the HSE have put together this document which the HSE has. We are waiting for it to be published. That is a recognition that we need to change and look to improve how we deliver services at primary care level.

The progressing disability report has outlined how we can improve delivering disability services. It will be implemented in the second quarter of 2019. That will go some way to providing solutions to some of the current issues.

The visions are there for how we can improve how we are working. We have that information from those pockets where they already have progressed and reconfigured.
