229. To ask the Minister for Health the reason a facility (details supplied) has had to suspend operations for a number of days due to lack of staffing; the reason the HSE has not filled the panel to allow the facility to carry out its day to day duties; when this situation will be rectified; 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 matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
