St John of Gods is to defer its exit from the provision of services in Kerry.
Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley has welcomed confirmation that St John of God Community Services has deferred its proposed exit from service provision in Kerry.
She said the decision will ensure that vital services are maintained in a number of crucial facilities across the Kerry region.
The St John of God Community Services has agreed to take part in a sustainability impact assessment with the HSE which will provide a basis for the organisation to continue its important service delivery role in line with a reformed model of care.
Minister Foley said that is welcome news for service users and their families and a positive step forward to securing the provision of vital services across Kerry.
She thanked Ministers Stephen Donnelly and Anne Rabbitte for their support on the matter.
