I ask if the Minister of State will pursue the implementation of agreed measures, targets and time lines for disability services. I ask this question in the context of the crisis that exists in many disability services. There is a lack of planning and targets with regard to the provision of services for people with disabilities. One example of this is that adult services for 30 young adults on the north side of Dublin will be under major pressure from next September. What is happening with regard to these services? The Minister of State has said that €12 million will be made available for school leavers nationally, yet I have had 30 families tell me that they will not be able to get an adult service in September.
