"Question 12
To ask the HSE for an update on what progress has been made on the motion below I submitted in May 2018
“That this Regional Health Forum asks the HSE to resource the provision of Occupational Therapist Reports for residents living in LHO area Dublin West who are applying for the adaptations to their home through the Disabled Persons Grant Scheme”.
Cllr Mark Ward
Response
Occupational Therapist Reports for Disabled Persons Grant Scheme:
Further to contact with South Dublin County Council, we have been advised the local authority are sourcing Occupational Therapy Assessments and reports elsewhere and no longer consider this to be an issue.
Given current resources and inability to meet core health needs this is not an area that the CHO is able to prioritise for development at present.
Please see details for Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland, Tel No: 01 874 8136 Email Address: info@aoti.ie. The local authority has confirmed that where private home owners seek reports via other providers, the cost of a report will be reimbursed as part of the grant.
To ask the Chief Executive to respond and make a statement to the question I had (see below) at the most recent Mid Leinster Regional Health Forum in relation to Occupational Therapy reports for residents of Clondalkin/Lucan?"

"That this committee calls on the immediate removal of all items from outside the Supersavers shop in Village following Tidy Towns adjudicators feedback that "We are surprised that this is allowed under planning enforcement" and previous feedback that ''The Steering Wheel has a fine traditional shopfront which contrasts with the adjacent Supersavers premises which has a totally cluttered frontage to the extent that the shop’s name is not visible.'' – We ask that the Shop owner respects our village and Clondalkin Tidy Towns that do a huge amount of work to keep our village clean and tidy and that SDCC use there enforcement powers to deal with this situation’’
"That this committee agrees to move the main road sign at back of houses at Newlands Road further up outside Fitzgerald Hotel. There are 2 poles already erected for this."
"That the Chief Executive conduct a full accessibility survey of Clondalkin Village. Wheelchair users find Clondalkin especially difficult to navigate in comparison with Tallaght and Lucan. Can we look into why and address issues like dished curbs and provide accessible parking bay guidelines to private carparks who ironically install inaccessible accessible car spaces."
"Wheelchair users in Clondalkin have reported that it is difficult for them to get around without encountering obstacles, like cars parked on paths, wheelie bins, overgrown hedges and footpaths not being dished, this committee asks the Chief Executive to pilot a programme that will see individual estates, community groups etc recognised for being wheelchair friendly. Similar to Parks getting green flag status."
"That this committee address a hazardous pedestrian safety measure at the Luas pedestrian bridge coming from Clondalkin on left side of bridge. There are two particular parts that appear to have the metal piece connecting them to the cement lift up slightly. These particular areas already gather puddles following any small amount of rainfall. When people try to cross over the puddle, it is very easy for a foot to catch on the metal bit and cause a trip."
"That this Committee gets a full update on the footpath repair works completed and scheduled for Clondalkin Village and Newcastle Village."
