On page 73 of the programme for Government, there is a promise to improve services and increase supports for people with disabilities. However, we have carers experiencing serious financial difficulties who will cease operations in 2020 unless urgent funding of €2 million per annum is provided by the HSE. RehabCare provides services in every county in Ireland to 3,000 people with disabilities, who are supported in 117 locations nationwide. The organisation also has excellent services across Cork south-west. Specifically, it supports 94 people with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities and mental health difficulties in six different services delivered in Bantry, Castletownbere and Skibbereen. People from Clonakilty, Dunmanway and surrounding areas are using RehabCare services, which include day, residential, home and community supports and respite services. Respite services are delivered in Bantry but available to 41 people with disabilities from south-west and north Cork and Cork city, where 23 staff and five community employment workers provide these supports. Will the Government provide the necessary funding for RehabCare to continue this vital service?

This Government is continuing to increase the level of funding it is providing to section 38 and section 39 organisations. RehabCare provides excellent services for people with disabilities right across the country. If any organisation does not wish to continue to provide such services, it must give 12 months' notice. This is an important message to all our constituents, particularly people with disabilities, who should not be left worried about this situation. As Deputy Collins rightly said, I met RehabCare last week. I am due to meet the organisation again at 5 o'clock this evening to see if a resolution can be found.
