Living in the community: services and supports for people with disabilities
2013
The research on which this report is based addresses a gap identifi ed by the Disability
Federation of Ireland and the Not for Profi t Business Association, in the context of
planned reform of disability services. They found in recent major policy statements,
notably Value for Money and Policy Review of Disability Services in Ireland (DoH 2012),
a lack of recognition of how voluntary organisations through their services and supports
enable large numbers of people with disabilities to continue living in the community.
They pointed out that the Value for Money and Policy Review concentrates on the highexpenditure
services which support only a minority of people with disabilities, those
living in institutional care, while the range and quality of the community-based services
supporting the majority are not adequately acknowledged
