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 with regard to those who transition from schooling into HSE services, as soon as possible. Processes in relation to transitions into further education or employment are led by DFHERIS and DSP respectively.
