Ms Anne Ennis:

The team is me and Mr. Higgins at the moment. It is a dedicated resource, specifically for decongregation. We also have a dedicated budget, albeit a meagre one at times. There is a concentrated effort from the HSE perspective to move people from congregated settings. The real work, however, is done at local level in the steering groups. Part of my role is to link with the AHBs, the local authorities and the HSE disability operational teams at a local level to ensure they are all represented at the local steering groups because that is where the work gets done. That is where the needs are profiled. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has said that it will work with us 100%. We just have to say what is needed. It is at that local level that we have to map what the need is.
