Amharc ar fhreagra428. Deputy Margaret Murphy O'Mahony asked the Minister for Health the number of adults with a physical and or sensory disability in receipt of a PA service to date in 2018 by CHO area in tabular form. [30166/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 427 and 428 together.
The 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 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.
