801. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of persons who have received support through personal budget arrangements and personal managed funds; the total number of hours provided under those arrangements, in each of the past three years and to date in 2026; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45775/26]

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
