Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Angela O'Neill:

We acknowledge that we are in breach of our requirements under the Act. We are working to address it. It is important to point out that our annual service planning and Estimates process allows us every year to identify the gaps and the needs for services. We are constantly looking for additional resources. We are constantly lobbying to our colleagues in the Department of Health and we are planning to develop children's disability services despite the shortfalls in our IT systems for assessment of needs.
