425. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Health when a decision will be made on the €3.8 million funding requirement for a centre (details supplied); his Department's strategy for funding such facilities; his plans to give some clarification on future funding for this facility to give comfort to the board; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives. This commitment is outlined in the Programme for Partnership Government, which is guided by two principles: equality of opportunity and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
As the Deputy's question relates to a service matter, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
