1154. To ask the Minister for Health the supports which exist by county for young adults with an intellectual disability, just turned 18 years of age, for their continuing education and development; the further supports which exist or are planned; if further resources will be supplied in budget 2018 or through another mechanism to ensure SNA supports for all in this cohort that need them; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will be aware, the level of funding available for the HSE is being/will be considered as part of the national estimates/budgetary process for 2018, which is currently underway. Following this process, the HSE will then prepare its National Service Plan for 2018. Pending agreement of the National Service Plan, I am not in a position to comment on service levels to be provided in 2018.

As the remainder of the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
