Personal Assistant Services for Individuals with a Disability: Discussion
1:30 pm
Ms Patsy Carr:
Under the legislation, the HSE is obliged to provide certain services, including residential services. The HSE is not obliged to provide a personal assistance service. This is an ancillary service that the HSE provides to meet people's needs within the context of everything else that is provided.
