Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Derval McDonagh:

Yes, housing and health and social care need to communicate together across Departments in order that housing and supports come into play at the same time. Again it is back to the fact that fundamentally what we need are integrated systems and models. Right now they are separate. The new housing strategy for disabled people is supposed to uncover some of that and do that groundwork so that there is better integration in housing.
