- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Seán Sherlock: My last question concerns the section 39 organisations. If I am reading Mr. Reid and the Minister of State correctly concerning the need to address the imbalance here on the pay parity side, there is a responsibility, and I say this respectfully, on the Government to engage with the trade unions and the representatives of employees to address this subject. I say this because, and the...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Seán Sherlock: Chairman, my question was not answered. I refer to the specific question I had about what happens in a CDNT when somebody leaves and there is a live file. What happens to the file? What is the legitimate expectation of the child and his or her family in respect of that file? I need an answer to that question because I have cases where that has happened. The second point I made that was...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Seán Sherlock: I welcome this meeting and the witnesses coming before us. Starting with the individual family support plans, I had a parliamentary question on this issue answered by Mr. O'Regan. It was dated 24 May 2022. In that question, I asked the Minister of Health the number of individualised family service plans issued and accepted by each CDNT, broken down by CHO area. The response I got was that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Seán Sherlock: On this same issue, we have now created another bolt-on aspect to the experiences of the family and the child. The experiences of families of which I am aware, whether we like it or not, reflect a lack of confidence in the service. Families are afraid that they are being sent down yet another road and to another service that they must sign up to get access to services. I am not going to be...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2022) Seán Sherlock: I will keep moving on because I am conscious of time. Do we know how many therapists, by their designation as SLTs and OTs, have left the CDNTs since January 2022? If we know the answer to that question, do we know if those people have been replaced? What is the status of the individual files? I ask this because, again, we have the child interfacing with a service, and he or she has...

- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)
Seán Sherlock: I move amendment No. 3: In page 6, after line 34, to insert the following: “(2) A court shall construe this Act in a manner that gives effect to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities done at New York on 13 December 2006, and for this purpose the court shall have regard to the provisions of the Convention, including its preamble.”. I welcome the...

Seán Sherlock: I take it from the Minister that he is not minded to accept my amendment.
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (14 Jun 2022)
Seán Sherlock: On that basis, I seek leave to withdraw my amendment and submit it again on Report Stage. My rationale for proposing it is that the opening line in the Bill's explanatory memorandum reads: "The Bill gives further effect to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)." I would have thought that it was entirely appropriate for us to give effect to that in...

Seán Sherlock: I hold to my position of withdrawing the amendment. I want to think about what the Minister has said regarding his interventions in respect of the amendment. I would like to return to it on Report Stage. I want to tease it out a little more in my mind.
