My Department has no direct function in relation to the provision of disability services to individuals. The Department is responsible for the formulation and development of policy in respect of the provision of specialist disability services; responsibility for the management and delivery of those services rests with the Health Service Executive (HSE).

In this regard, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
