30. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the engagement he has had on the policy of progressing disability services; and if he has contacted other Ministers regarding the policy. [16181/21]

I understand that the Deputy's question refers to the Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People Programme which is run by the Health Service Executive (HSE).

As the Deputy will appreciate this policy comes under the remit of the Minister for Heath. I have not had direct engagement with the HSE, the Minister for Health or with the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth with regard to this programme.

More generally, my Department continues to fulfill its role in relation to people with disabilities in so far as it relates to transport and will respond to any engagement from the Department of Health with regard to this programme.
