Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Aligning disability services with the UNCRPD and considering the future system and innovation: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Aoife O'Toole:
Chairman, you have probably brought us full circle because the demonstration project on personalised budgets allows families to do that. It gives them that option to look at what they need most and they have the fund to be able to pay for that. We are on the journey towards getting to where Australia is at with the national disability insurance scheme, NDIS. It is here in Ireland and we need to invest in it and protect it. That would be very helpful for families into the future.
