As the Deputy is aware, the Health Service Executive (HSE) has recently established a National Review Group to carry out a Strategic Review of HSE funded Adult Day Services for People with Disabilities including Sheltered work.

This review will identify the range, configuration and objectives of future adult day services that are most appropriate to the needs of people with disabilities and the statutory responsibilities of the Department of Health and Children and the Health Service Executive. The review will include consideration of the draft code of practice for sheltered occupational services.
