Anne Rabbitte (FF), Galway East

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. Only in the past week I have met with various providers to discuss how we can access care and work with other providers that are not part of the framework. I refer to looking at this provision with a person-centred approach and a clear understanding of the value of personal assistance, PA. This is very different from home care and home support. We need to use PA support for people aged under 65 in conjunction with various providers. Department officials and I attended that meeting. I hope we will have a positive outcome.
