Health Service Executive (HSE) Disability Services provide personal and social supports based on the needs of the individual, rather than the provision of services based on a specific diagnosis or condition. However, people with M.E. may also benefit from Specialist Disability Services such as assisted living services. The HSE provides a range of assisted living services including Personal Assistant and Home Support Services to support individuals to maximise their capacity to live full and independent lives.
I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
