Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion

Mr. Bernard O'Regan:

I would not disagree. From a HSE perspective, there has been an experience where, as an organisation, we have been drawn into the provision of public services that are not really or properly within our remit. On housing, for example, it is our belief that the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage should provide housing and we should provide the health and social care support. The disability action plan is intended to try to draw that cross-government, cross-public service plan together.
