Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Noreen O'Leary:
The composition of the group is stated in the report in question and, as far as I recall, there was a mixed representation of people. They definitely had clinical experience. I cannot say for definite whether they were still in clinical roles but there was representation from across different professions and arms of the HSE. As I said, information on the membership of the group is available. It is stated who was on it. In its final meeting, the group agreed the report that was then submitted to the HSE for approval. I presume it was approved because it became the foundation document for PDS. Beyond that, there were details that certainly were not available to us. That is not to say they do not exist somewhere but I refer to what we had access to. I do not know.
