Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Clare Duffy:
A really critical piece of infrastructure in the Act is the decision supporters, the people who step up to the plate and say, "I will be your decision supporter". By the way, we carry a lot of responsibility then, because if I am at the highest level, what is called a decision-making representative, DMR, and I am looking after Ms Cox, I have to do annual reports. I have to say that I took her disability allowance this week, and I spent it this way or the other. That means that I carry a burden of responsibility.
