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?"
