Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Aligning Disability Services with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Bernard O'Regan:

The Vice Chairman asked questions about reports and actions where families are hearing that they will not get something until January or February, and it is needed now. I will have to follow up on that with colleagues and I will revert to her on it. We will certainly look to make every effort that we can so that there is no impeding the progress of children or their ability to access a service because they are waiting on a report. We will look at anything we can do to expedite that. I will talk to colleagues to see how we can progress it.
