Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2005
232 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the number of adults with an intellectual disability on residential, day care and respite waiting lists in the Health Service Executive area of northside Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29091/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been advised by the Health Service Executive northern area that 53 adults with an intellectual disability will require a residential service, while 303 will require a change in their day service. It is difficult to quantify the numbers on waiting lists for respite due to the wide range of respite services available and the appropriateness of the range of services to the particular client.
