Ms Derval Healy:

The capacity is there and we are also building our Vision First team. As Ms O’Dwyer mentioned, it has to be very vision first in terms of the skill sets available, whether O and M, daily living skills or assistive technology. We are currently building our team around our national remit. However, it is definitely a conversation that needs to happen and, as Ms O’Dwyer mentioned, it needs to happen at the beginning of the year to ensure there are services in place. Collaboration between service providers is key.
