View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 519 and 521 together.
It is not possible to predict the service levels to be provided next year for the disability sector until the completion of the HSE's National Service Plan for 2014. With regards to the information requested by the Deputy, it is not available in my Department. However, I have asked the HSE to provide the information it has available directly to you in relation to these matters.
