175. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Health if he will report on the progress in relation to the Disability Capacity Review to 2032; and the way that he intends to remediate the significant levels of unmet need for those with intellectual disabilities and their families that receive support from an organisation (details supplied) in Mayo.

View answerThe Department of Health published the Disability Capacity Review in July 2021. This report set out the capacity requirements for health-funded disability services for the period up to 2032. In order to drive the process of implementing the recommendations of the Capacity Review, a Working Group was set up to develop an Action Plan for Disability Services for the period 2022-2025. This Group, whose membership consisted of senior officials from the Departments of DCEDIY, Social Protection, Housing, Further and Higher Education, Health, and the Health Service Executive, has now completed its work and the draft Action Plan is currently being finalised.
