The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services.
Responsibility for the provision of services to people with an intellectual disability and those with autism in the Dublin area lies, in the first instance, with the Health Service Executive. My Department has asked the chief officer of the Health Service Executive, eastern region, to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to her.
