950. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for Health the number of persons with a disability in County Kildare awaiting a HSE-funded residential placement; the waiting times for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11907/21]
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.
