Not of that particular case but I will respond in general because as I have travelled around the country I have heard about how long it takes for CAS to work in the disability sector. I have seen examples of lovely housing but it just took too long and it is very cumbersome. As part of our meetings within the Cabinet committee on disability, which is attended by the Minister for housing, these issues have to be addressed as part of the national disability strategy. The HSE is responsible for the operational side of this on the ground and it needs to be able to plan.
