Committee on Disability Matters
Autonomy and Integrity for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Áine Flynn:
Resources are something that, obviously, we keep closely under review. We are a growing organisation. The task initially was to take an Act and implement it, to design and build an organisation, to design processes, to procure and to recruit. We now have over 100 members of staff but as we are obliged to be busy, particularly around advance planning, we need to look to our resources and ensure that, while as far as possible we will work smarter and used automated solutions where they are available, the question of human resources is something that we need to keep a good eye on if we are to continue to meet our obligations, of which we have several under the Act. We have spoken about some of our niche functions today but we do quite a bit. We need to make sure that we have the capability to deliver.
