View answerI understand that the information which the Deputy is actually seeking relates to the average cost of providing respite services for people with intellectual disability and autism.
The average cost of providing a respite place is estimated to be around €70,000. However the actual costs in any given situation vary and are dependent on the needs of those availing of the service.
