Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: People with Disabilities
Mr. Mark O'Connor:
The guidelines that have been issued by the HSE do not contain dates on quantum of service within them. The only reference to quantum of service is to say it will be a reduced level. Anecdotally, we have heard back from some people that the service for their family member will begin to ramp up after the August holidays. We have had contact from a few folks saying 7 September seems to be a date a couple of services have given out. Worryingly, a few folks have indicated they are looking at December and January.
