Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Impact of Covid-19: People with Disabilities

Dr. Joanne McCarthy:

There is quite an array of service models within the community. There are home support services to help people get up out of bed, and the person goes back to do some light housework. There are also the PA services that support a person out into employment. There are then what we would call much softer community services, which are undervalued but if they are taken out of the system have a significant impact.
