I propose to take Questions Nos. 229 to 231, inclusive, together.
Rehabilitative training (RT) focuses on the development of an individual's life skills, social skills and basic work skills with the objective of enhancing the trainee's quality of life and general work capacity. RT, which is foundation-level training not connected to the labour force, is funded by the Health Service Executive (HSE) and provided by the HSE and by specialist disability service providers.
Some people who graduate from RT make the progression to vocational training, which is funded by SOLAS (formerly FÁS), or to employment. Others require day services or supports funded by the HSE. Day services for adults with disabilities and mental health issues provide a network of support for over 25,000 people who have a wide spectrum of need, ranging from those with severe and profound disabilities who are likely to need long-term specialist service provision to people with lower support needs and greater potential for community participation and inclusion.
As the Deputy's question relates to service matters I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
