Ceist:

691. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health the position regarding funding provided this year for services for persons with disabilities, particularly school leavers and young adults, serviced through Saint Michael’s House which is informing parents of its inability to cater for these young adults, due to lack of funding, facilities, and staff; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question 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, please contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
