Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 April 2025
228. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if persons with disabilities are charged for the use of day services; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17757/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraHSE-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.
