421. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the schemes in place as part of the job-share initiative or community schemes for persons with a disability or mental health issues; if there is no replacement, if he plans to introduce a scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44645/21]
View answerMy Department leads on the co-ordination of the Government's national disability policy. This includes both national disability strategies, the National Disability Inclusion Strategy and the Comprehensive Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities, and the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. My Department does not currently have a role in the delivery of services or operation of schemes other than those that are related to children such as the Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme (ECCE) or the Access and Inclusion Model (AIM).
