Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I am in on-going engagement with the HSE in CHO4 about what may be possible under the HSE’s National Service Plan 2023 to provide respite in Kerry, as well as considering what business cases may need to be developed as part of 2024’s plans for the provision of respite in South Kerry.
