Recently we have seen real issues around pay parity and significant difficulties with retention and recruitment. Without these agencies, the HSE would not be able to deliver services on the ground. It is very important that we continue to support them to ensure we can deliver services locally. Western Care Association in County Mayo is a significant provider of intellectual disability services and without it, the entire service would fall to pieces.
