Question 235: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children when her Department will grant approval for the development of a village complex for 60 residents with an intellectual disability on the campus at a hospital (details supplied) in County Dublin in view of the fact that health board approval was granted nearly three years ago and the present facilities are most unsatisfactory.

One of the key priorities for my Department is to progress as quickly as possible the development of purpose-built residential and day facilities on the campus referred to by the Deputy. My Department has been working with the Eastern Regional Health Authority to progress the programme to provide more appropriate accommodation and to maximise the outcome from the capital resources available to my Department and from other sources. This work will be facilitated by the multi-annual revenue and capital investment programme for disability-specific support services recently announced as part of the national disability strategy.
