- 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) Holly Cairns: I asked a specific question on that issue. That makes sense. The policy goes out and each CHO then implements it and there may not be uniform implementation of that. Has there been constructive engagement from all primary care in each CHO?

- 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) Holly Cairns: Is it being monitored and tracked? How is it going? As we all know it is not going well, what is being done to identify those gaps and the different approaches in CHOs to ensure a more uniform approach or the right approach?

- 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) Holly Cairns: I also have questions. On that specific point, if there is oversight of the national access policy, how is it going? If this basic policy is not working effectively, which very often it is not, what is being done to monitor and address that? Standardising will not necessarily work with the different needs of individuals.
- 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) Holly Cairns: Despite the lengthy reply, I did not get a proper answer on the basic national access policy. How is primary care engaging with it? How is it being tracked and monitored? It would be helpful to get an answer to that. How many of the CDNTs are fully staffed now? We know that three and a half months ago none of them were fully staffed, not mention the question of retention of student...

This Bill will have far-reaching consequences for disabled people, older people and individuals experiencing mental health difficulties. It affects how they can make decisions about their lives. This Bill...
