COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report  at the meeting on the ongoing negotiations between the Council and HSE regarding the provision and funding of OT reports for council tenants applying for adaptation grants to council properties."

REPLY:

The HSE Dublin Mid West are still not providing Occupational Therapist Reports that are required in order for us to process a Disabled Persons Grant.  This practice is only confined to tenants in the Lucan / Clondalkin area. 

At a meeting recently held in South Dublin County Council,  the HSE undertook to investigate this matter and we hope to meet with HSE Senior Management in the coming weeks to discuss this further.      

We will update the Members on the outcome of this meeting.
