Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Rights-Based Approach to Day Services: Discussion

Mr. Joe Meany:

I have one comment on that. There are different questions here. The wages are one question and that might have one response, but to improve service provision is a slightly different question as well because one is about wages, one is about supporting enhanced need, one is about supporting changing need and one is about a better profiling system to make sure that the school-leavers coming in have better staff resources from that point of view. A series of different questions need to be asked and when added together, this will get the total amount of resources required.
