Adjournment Matters. - Services for People with Disabilities.
What is required in this instance is deficit funding. There will be no completely new cost to the Department, the Brothers of Charity, the Western Health Board or all the agencies combined. It is of the utmost importance that the deficit funding to which I refer is provided in order that these people can return to the quality of life they have enjoyed over the past 20 years. Some of these patients have been at the centre on a long-term basis and they have become accustomed to the services provided. It is vital that the Minister would give an indication that the work could commence at an early stage on a replacement building so that the services built up can recommence in the near future.
