On page 46 of the programme for Government there is a commitment to ensure that work is done with the HSE to improve care. Currently, adults with disabilities are unable to attend care services. There was much shock and dismay among many families last week when they heard from witnesses at the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response that services may not resume until next year. I ask the Taoiseach to prioritise this matter. Adults with disabilities have regressed significantly and they have been disrupted. We need to make sure that the services are put back in place as soon as possible.
