Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Rights-Based Approach to Day Services (Resumed): Discussion

5:30 pm

Ms Liz Reynolds:

Our funding comes predominantly from the HSE. That is the agency we link with. I will let Mr. Devereux answer with regard to buildings, premises and CAS funding. The funding programme the Senator talked about is reactive. If there is a vacancy and there is somebody on the waitlist, the clinical team engages to see whether that vacancy would suit that individual and a period of transition or assessment commences. It is a long process. It is not like the acute sector where it is one in, one out. It is a process. It can take quite a length of time in some cases.
