I am very aware of the important work being undertaken by KARE in County Kildare in relation to people with disabilities.

As KARE have a service level arrangement with the HSE in relation to funding, which is a service matter, I have arranged for the Deputy's question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.

The level of funding available for the health budgets are considered as part of the annual estimates and budgetary process. Pending completion of the 2015 national estimates, budgetary and service planning process, it is not possible to predict the service levels for the disability sector in general, including KARE.
