Broughan asked the Minister for Health if he will provide, in tabular form for each year since 2009 and in 2015 to date, the amount of funding provided to residential services for persons with disabilities; the number of staff in these services; his future funding and staffing plans for this sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 712 and 713 together.
As the Deputy's questions relate to service matters, I have arranged for the questions to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matters up with the HSE.
