Respite and day services are so important to families of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This was further reinforced during the pandemic, when those services were not available. In Macroom, the Cope Foundation ran services for five days a week, which was hugely valuable for local clients and their families. There is always an ongoing need to extend that to a seven-day service for Macroom. Will the Minister engage with Cope and the various authorities to ensure a seven-day and seven-night service is available for Cope clients in Macroom?

Again, this is an issue right around the country as the hours of many day care and other disability services have been constrained. The availability of respite services has been constrained. Additional funding of €5 million has been provided to develop new respite centres. Despite Covid and the recent attacks on the ICT health system infrastructure, all community health services, including disability services, are now back operating as normal. Regarding the Cope Foundation in Macroom, if the Deputy could forward me those details, I will happily pass them on to the Minister for Health. I support the wider opening and reopening of services.
