Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Planning for Inclusive Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Anne Ennis:

In the context of where those people have gone, there has been a reduction of approximately 2,500 since the programme began. That includes RIPs, namely, people who have passed away. Roughly 2,000 people have moved to houses in the community that are funded either by the HSE or via CAS. For example, 74 people moved last year. Twenty-four went to houses with four bedrooms or fewer that are funded by the HSE and 46 went to housing acquired from the CAS funding through approved housing bodies and the service providers.
