180. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health in view of the announcement in budget 2013, if he will provide the full detail of the funding allocation to the disability sector for 2013; if an impact assessment has been carried out on these cuts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56170/12]
View answerThe funding situation for the disability sector is not yet available pending the finalisation of the HSE's National Service Plan for 2013. Savings required globally from the Health Budget will have an impact on all services, including disability services, and these will be outlined later this month when the Minister for Health approves the National Service Plan.
