Adjournment Matters. - Services for People with Disabilities.

 

I ask the Minister to ensure that the Department would make a quick decision to provide funding, through the most appropriate agency, so that new services can be put in place at the centre. At present, the 30 residential patients are provided with accommodation in four rented houses and while that is a suitable stop-gap measure, it is important that they should be placed in a new centre in the near future. The assessors have moved in and I understand it is not possible to reconstruct or renovate the existing building. It will be necessary to provide a new purpose built premises to provide a full range of services in the future.
