892. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 336 of 28 November 2017, the reason a person (details supplied) is only on the HSE's assessment of need waiting list since 13 June 2017 even though the HSE acknowledged the application for an assessment of need by the person's parents in October 2016.

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 an individual case, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
