‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Provision of Sheltered Employment. National Rehabilitation Board Funding
Summary
O’Sullivan raised concerns that the NRB was underfunded compared with Rehab; the Minister said NRB funding was the responsibility of the Minister for Health.
Is the Minister happy with the funding being provided for the National Rehabilitation Board as it has now become widely accepted that the NRB are under-funded while there is Rehab who are doing quite a good job but receiving from State and EC sources a sum of £13 million annually in addition to the funds they receive from the produce they sell at their workshop and from various fund-raising activities. Yet there is the State body, the National Rehabilitation Board, in dire need of funding, which does not have anything like the resources of Rehab.
