Dr. Emer Begley:

We talked previously about the need for a national model for PA. It is fundamentally important. Leadership needs to be shown around that at a HSE level. We understand, under the new national strategy, a general manager will be appointed for the development of a PA model. Again, it is not just about a model. It is about implementation of same.

We are aware that the disability unit in the Department of the Taoiseach is in place now and has developed a strategy. We have not had any engagement with it to date or consultation on its strategic focus. I will turn to Mr. Doyle for a bit more.
