View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Services Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive is required to manage and deliver or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services.
Responsibility for the provision of services to persons with intellectual disability and those with autism in the Kildare area lies, in the first instance, with the Health Service Executive. My Department has asked the chief officer of the Health Service Executive, eastern region, to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
