Parents criticise 'contradictory' HSE denials over disability equipment funding
The controversy centres around the HSE’s €6-7 million annual budget for vital equipment for children and adults with disabilities.
Parents and TDs have called for more transparency in how the multi-million euro fund for disability equipment is handled.
Families in Cork and Kerry were finding their appeals for specialised equipment for their children rejected by the HSE, with a lack of funds cited as the reason.
They were repeatedly told that no data was kept on equipment funding, only to learn in recent days that the figures have existed for some time.
