Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 September 2020
703. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the problems Covid-19 restrictions are causing to service users attending an association (details supplied), who are now unable to share buses and taxis, and the pressure this has placed on the funding of the services; if he will commit to additional funding to support the services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
