Over 2000 adults with a intellectual disability are waiting for a residential place -this year the Stae will provide 72 places this is unacceptable-the HSE will not provide a care plan without a person having a residential place but you can’t get a residential place without a carer plan -this madness must stop with the HSE removed from providing disability services .
The time has arrived to remove disability services from the HSE with 1000s of children suffering from the neglect that this bureaucracy is delivering .
A cruel measure carers save the State 20billion euros The Irish Government must remove taxation from carers and abolish the means test with a living wage for all carers and people with disabilities.
Next months budget must deliver for people with disabilities and carers with a basic living wage without means testing .
