Michael McCarthy
Question:615. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the major collective effect of cuts to disability organisations (details supplied) in County Cork, which have experienced substantial budget cuts over the past six years; if he will acknowledge that there is a growing gap between the demand for services and the resources available to meet this demand; that further cuts will cause this gap to widen even further and threaten front-line services such as transport and respite supports, early intervention services and many more; if he will provide assurances that this sector will not be subject to further cuts in budget 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
