Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2025
686. Deputy Marie Sherlock asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of day services users who are adults with an intellectual disability across each integrated health area for each of the years 2020-2025. [56719/25]
View answerHSE-funded day programmes for people with intellectual disabilities, autism, or complex physical disabilities include a range of centre-based and community-based activities. Access to services is based on an individual’s needs rather than on their diagnosis. The focus is on supporting people to participate in the mainstream activities and in the life of their community, in line with their wishes and needs.
As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
