Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Voluntary Organisations in the Health Sector: Discussion
Ms Anna Shakespeare:
The health service capacity review published last year did not comprehend disability, and even explicitly excluded it. There has been no forecasting to 2031 for disability services, as there has been for the acute care sector. The workforce planning report from the Department of Health, which was also published in 2017, similarly failed to comprehend disability social care from a workforce planning perspective. That is quite significant.
