Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2022
310. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to a pre-Budget 2023 submission from an organisation (details supplied); if consideration has been given to the recommendations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46410/22]
View answerI wish to thank the TD for his question.
The delivery of services for people with disabilities is a matter for the HSE, funding is provided by way of the agreed annual National Service plan.
At this time, engagement continues between The Department of Health and key stakeholders, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the HSE, in relation to the 2023 Estimates.These discussions will inform the finalisation of the Estimate for the Health Vote for 2023 over the coming weeks and the final position will be announced in the Budget Communications/speeches on Budget Day (27th Sept 2022).
Pending this, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific funding proposals.
