Further consideration is being given to making the information in theResilience and Recovery 2020-2021, Plan for Living with COVID-19 available in other accessible formats and my Department is consulting with the National Disability Authority on the matter.

The HSE has partnered with NCBI to produce audio, braille and Large Print versions of public health information. The partnership includes audio versions of the information available online, and also copied onto CDs and posted to people registered as visually impaired with NCBI. Likewise, Large Print or Braille versions are posted to those who use those formats.
