The HSE provides a range of assisted living services including Personal Assistance (PA) Services to support individuals to maximise their capacity to live full and independent lives.
The National Service Plan 2022 outlines the HSE’s commitment to deliver 1.7m hours of PA services to 2,587 people this year. This reflects an additional 120,000 hours of PA services in 2022 to expand and enhance supports for people to live self-directed lives in their own communities.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
