Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

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

Mr. Bernard O'Regan:

At the moment we are not. We have some interim metrics that the Minister of State referred to and that we introduced this year. We are gathering those metrics manually. It is our intention as we grow the system that it will be necessary to measure all the way through the process. Knowing that a family-centred plan, or anything, has been put in place without knowing about the outcome or the continuing activity is pointless. Therefore, we are working towards that.
