At a meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Disability Matters in March we heard from the Independent Living Movement Ireland that many disabled women's specific needs are not being addressed when they avail of BreastCheck or other screening programmes. The organisation specifically highlighted the issues women in wheelchairs have in accessing the scanners without adequate hoist equipment on hand. Has this issue been addressed in the meantime? Does the HSE have plans to do so? I was asked to bring that up.
