Adjournment Matter. - Community Services.

 

The argument has been made, quite unfairly, on some sides that CoAction spread its wings too wide. CoAction would not have embarked on these services if there was no need for them. It is dealing with the most vulnerable members of society. This brings home the reality of the budgetary cuts and it is distressing for the people involved that this issue has resulted in redundancies, restriction of service and closure of some units. I stress again that this is a core funding deficit issue which is not generally acknowledged in terms of funding the organisation.
