Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

I was not aware of the piece on Cavan-Monaghan, so I will have to revert on that. The wider issue of respite services is part of the progressing disability services plan overall. In the paper we gave in advance of this meeting, we said some of the challenges in respite have related to the complexity of cases, so we have had to prioritise the available respite. In trying to enhance the available respite, part of that has been constrained by the availability of accommodation, housing and the market more generally. Respite is one of the key things that we want standardised.
