Dáil Question addressed to the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. Moloney) by Deputy Finian McGrath for WRITTEN ANSWER - 24/06/2008
There has been much debate in recent years about the rights and entitlements of older people, especially as their numbers grow. What types of services and entitlements should have been and who should have the duty to provide and fund them. Much of the debate has concentrated on the role of the State.
Finian McGrath has demanded action on funding for St. Michael's House services for people with a disability. The reality now is St. Michael's House has the largest waiting list for residential care nationally.
