Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 November 2018
378. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) will have an assessment of needs carried out in view of the fact that under the Disability Act 2005 this assessment should have been concluded by August 2018. [49005/18]
View answerThe Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives. This commitment is outlined in the Programme for Partnership Government, which is guided by two principles: equality of opportunity and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
