Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion
Mr. Bernard O'Regan:
Each CHO area has an agreed plan for its 2021 and 2022 development. They have been in place in a number of CHOs since 2021. This year is based on the 2021 allocation. The only delays that arose in the case of some of the examples mentioned earlier were with getting housing ready for the service and the recruitment of the staff. Each CHO has an approved plan for its development. Each CHO was approved for the development of a respite service in 2021 and a respite service in 2022.
