Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2026
913. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the progress she has made on implementing recommendations for disability support services; the specific improvements she has targeted for community-based facilities in County Offaly; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9186/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraFollowing clarification from the Deputy, the Action Plan for Disability Services 2024-2026 represents the first phase of implementing the recommendations of the Disability Capacity Review to 2032. It sets out a range of actions designed to provide better access to disability services. It intends to maximise the impact of service delivery through strategic change and to enable better planning and management through improved information and systems.
The Action Plan targets are reliant on a variety of dependencies to enable their delivery, such as funding, workforce, capacity at an organisational level within service providers. Progress achieved under the Action Plan is documented in progress reports, which are published on my Department's website.
As this question relates to services, I have referred the matter to the HSE and have requested that the HSE respond directly to the Deputy.
