First ever Strategic Infrastructural Plan for Disabilities being developed
Minister for Children, Disability, and Equality, Norma Foley, and Minister of State for Disability, Hildegarde Naughton, have announced an allocation of EUR27 million in Disability Capital funding for disability projects in 2025, a EUR4 million increase on 2024. Additionally, the Minister welcomes the development by the Health Service Executive (HSE) of the first-ever multi-annual Strategic Infrastructural Plan specifically for disability services.
This funding aligns with the objectives outlined in the Action Plan for Disability Services 2024-2026, launched in December 2023. The Action Plan represents the initial phase of implementing the recommendations from the Disability Capacity Review and sets ambitious targets for service expansion, aiming to make services more person-centred in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
