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.

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

The Programme for Government, Our Shared Future, recognises the need to improve services for both children and adults with disabilities through better implementation and by working together across Government in a better way.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly.
