Joint Committee on Disability Matters Report: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-26
============================================================

Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I apologise. I will quickly move on to my last point. Although there were 70,000 actual hours allocated last year in respect of PA services, that is after 80,000 hours were lost in 2021 with an increase of 46,000 in 2022. In real numbers, the increase in 2023, after the restoration of previously cut hours, is only around 36,000 additional hours secured. I am hopeful this will be increased in 2024. I have faith that the Minister of State will do so.
