A commitment is given in the programme for Government towards the provision of adequate services for people with disabilities. The circumstances around Rehab have been well documented in recent days and I understand there is a delegation in the AV Room as we speak.

Last week, the National Federation of Voluntary Bodies issued a statement that Rehab was only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to funding shortages for those providing services. The Kerry Parents and Friends Association issued a statement that it also had insufficient funding to carry out the services needed in 2019.

Can the Taoiseach give a commitment that there will be a fundamental, root and branch review of the funding of the voluntary services for those service providers which carry out services for people with disabilities? We need to reassess that and try to look after the most vulnerable in our society.

There has been a significant increase in funding for health and disability organisations in recent years and an increase of almost €1 billion in the past year. Notwithstanding that, some organisations that provide health and social care services and provide services to people with disabilities have deficits from time to time. A meeting is happening today that will address the Rehab deficit. I have no doubt there are other organisations with deficits which want to resolve them by engaging with the HSE. That is how it has always been resolved in the past and will be in the future.
