649. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Health when families caring for young persons with intellectual disability will be able to avail of respite in their own county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34971/20]
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 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.
