The Daily PollPoll: Should disability services be exempt from HSE budget cuts?
The HSE has committed to reducing costs nationally – but should disability services be exempt from cuts?
RECENT WEEKS HAVE seen two disability services organisations being told that they will have their budgets cut by the HSE.
Today, it emerged that the HSE is to cut €189,461 from Sunbeam House’s budget. This will result in the withdrawal of transport services for clients.
Meanwhile, St Michael’s House, another disability services organisation, will see €1 million cut from its budget by the HSE.
Under the Haddington Road agreement, the HSE has committed to reducing costs nationally.
Today, we ask: Should disability services be exempt from HSE cuts?
