The HSE has announced that €100,000 euro in capital funding has been allocated to progress the design of the new day services facility for adults with intellectual disabilities at the former Cleary Centre site in Donegal Town.
A project review team has been involved in reviewing the original project brief which includes a nominee from the South Donegal Parents and Friends Group, the manager of the Cleary Centre, HSE Estates Project Officer and a Disability Services Manager.
A design team is expected to be appointed by the end of September 2022 to commence the design stage of the project.
Day Services for adults with intellectual disabilities from South Donegal area are currently being provided from the Community Inclusion Hub – Cleary Centre, Lurganboy, Donegal Town.
The new facility planned will provide day services for adults with intellectual disabilities from 18 years upwards across South Donegal.
It will be designed and built in accordance with the required national HSE New Directions policy for the delivery of day services to people with disabilities and in line with the required standards and regulations.
The HSE says it will continue to engage with service users and their families at each stage of the process beginning with the design process.
