228. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health his views on a proposal to establish a pilot programme to provide day care and therapeutic supports to people with acquired brain injuries (details supplied) and if he will consider allocating funding for this proposal in the 2017 service plan. [29168/16]
View answerThe Minister for Health, along with Department and Health Service Executive (HSE) officials, recently met with representatives of An Saol Project, at which they outlined their ideas for the project. I understand that the HSE will consider the proposal in the context of the ongoing estimates/budgetary process and the resources made available for the National Service Plan for 2017.
I have referred the Deputy's question to the HSE for a more detailed reply on the matter.
