Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 January 2013
1040. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Health at what stage the funding and remit for disability services will be moved from his Department to the Department of Social Protection; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1238/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are no proposals to move responsibility for health related specialist disability services to the Department of Social Protection. "Future Health", the recently published Strategic Framework for Reform of the Health Service 2012 - 2015, envisages that services and supports for people with disabilities will be part of integrated social and continuing care provision within a reformed health system.
