137. To ask the Minister for Health if there is a fund available to finance long-term care for a person (details supplied) with an intellectual disability in a facility in the UK in which residents of the facility from countries outside the UK require funding from their Government in order to be resident; 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.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
