The Minister wishes to thank the TD for his question.

The delivery of services for people with disabilities is a matter for the HSE, funding is provided by way of the agreed annual National Service plan. 

At this time, engagement continues between The Department of Health and key stakeholders, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the HSE, in relation to the 2023 Estimates.

These discussions will inform the finalisation of the Estimate for the Health Vote for 2023 over the coming weeks and the final position will be announced in the Budget Communications/speeches on Budget Day (27th Sept 2022).

Pending this, it would be inappropriate for the Minister to comment on specific funding proposals.
