Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department of Health funds a range of assisted living services including Personal Assistant and Home Support Services to support individuals to maximise their capacity to live full and independent lives.
PA and Home Support Services are provided either directly by the HSE or through a range of voluntary service providers.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
