PQ 233
233. Deputy Ann Graves asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the eligibility criteria for YAPAbility services; if Tusla's involvement is effectively becoming a prerequisite for access to certain family support services; the supports that exist for disabled children with significant needs who do not meet child protection thresholds; the preventative and intensive community-based supports that are available before families reach crisis point; the way in which socioeconomic need is assessed when disability-related costs leave families under significant financial strain despite living in areas perceived to be affluent; and the steps being taken to ensure that access to supports is based on need rather than postcode.
