Government Facing Fresh Calls For Greater Services To Be Made Available To Clare People With Down Syndrome
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
It's claimed more needs to be done at a government level to offer greater levels of therapy services to people with Down Syndrome in Clare. It comes as Down Syndrome Ireland's main fundraising event took place over the weekend, with over €500,000 raised by last year's edition, enabling the purchase of a new headquarters for the Clare branch. Cranny resident Orla Shannon's eight year old daughter accesses the services and supports offered through DS Clare. She says it helps them benefit from therapy services otherwise not available through the HSE.
