Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Inadequate Personal Assistance Supports: Discussion
Eileen Flynn (Independent) | Oireachtas source
Yet we have some mental health services that will not interact with people who have disabilities. They just will not. I have numerous emails from the parents of children with autism, and the mental health services will not engage. That in itself is discrimination. Obviously, we will not have all of the answers today but I do not think any of us can sit here today as committee members and say we are doing a good job because we are doing our best as committee members. However, there is a long way to go and we need implementation and we need a system where we can hold the Government to account.
