The HSE has confirmed to Inclusion Ireland that the day service needs of young adults leaving school and completing their rehabilitative training this year will be met. The HSE has been working to avoid the situation in previous years when some young people were left waiting in limbo during the summer months.  From September, approximately  1,300 young adults with a disability will receive some form of day support from the HSE or HSE-funded service provider.

Have your say - public consultation on criteria for medical cards.

Posted: Thursday, 12th June 2014

The HSE has established an expert panel to examine the range of medical conditions that should be considered for inclusion in the policy framework. The panel will identify a range of medical conditions, in priority order, that would benefit most from medical card eligibility. 

The focus of the expert panel is on chronic, life-long and life-limiting conditions. The HSE is now inviting submissions from the public, patient representative groups and professional bodies, to inform the work of the expert panel.  The closing date is Monday, 30 June 30 2014.
