Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for the question on respite. She might have missed my earlier contribution where I said that all of the over 65s in that cohort have been vaccinated. We have now moved into the cohort of under 65s right across disabilities, of whom 4,000 have been vaccinated. There is still a way to go on that. The risk assessment is being done on it but we have not got to the day services. As part of the formulation of it, this will be done in tandem so that we can have respite services up and running and more efficient.
