Ms Mary Casserly:

There was a comment with regard to joined-up thinking. A great deal of planning is needed. It is hard to know where people with Parkinson's are. To roll out services, we need to know where people are located. There is no database. There is also a lack of information with regard to what the HSE is doing. My understanding is that it sometimes runs courses or information clinics, but not that many people know about them. The HSE is probably finding it hard to get that information out to people with disabilities. There is need for more planning and more communication between departments and people in order that if courses are being rolled out they can get that information out there.
