(resumed) (1hr. 30 m. remaining): 34. That
Dáil Éireann:
aware of the growing public concern and
hardship caused by inadequate provision of health, housing and support services for the
elderly and people with disabilities;
noting the lack of sufficient subvention in
respect of nursing home care and the inadequacy of respite and residential care;
deplores the lengthy waiting lists for
disabled persons housing grants, the changes made to the eligibility criteria for such
grants and the failure of the current level of disabled persons housing grants to meet
demand and modern construction costs;
believes that this situation will result in
further pressure on the overstretched health and housing services;
condemns the Government for its failure to
address these and other issues affecting the rights and quality of lives of people with
disabilities, the elderly, their families and carers; and
calls on the Minister for the Environment and Local Government and the Minister for Health
and Children to immediately bring forward a comprehensive package of measures, including
additional finance, to address these crises and to provide for the eradication of such
waiting lists. Bernard
