Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 February 2024
278. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Health the list of engagements his Department has had with the HSE in the process of securing funding for services (details supplied), given their criticality to 8,000 people; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8453/24]
View answerSt John of God (SJOG) Community Services deliver essential disability and mental health services nationwide, as a Section 38 organisation. The majority of their services are specialist disability services, with mental health services representing less than 20% of funded services.
Engagement with the HSE on the current issues around funding and sustainability is being led by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. As such the information requested by the Deputy might be better sought through Minister O'Gorman.
