69. To ask the Minister for Health if he has satisfied himself with the overall level of support provided by the HSE to persons in County Wexford with intellectual disabilities and complex needs including autism; if he has further satisfied himself that the transition from child to adult services is functioning to the highest standard; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives. This commitment is outlined in the Programme for Partnership Government, which is guided by two principles: equality of opportunity and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.

As the Deputy's question relates to service issues in the Wexford area, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
