To ask the Minister of Health what plans he has to address the underfunding issues of Health and Social Care providers that look after people with learning difficulties and complex special needs, such as Camphill Community at Glencraig.

The Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) have advised that the Camphill Community Glencraig are paid at the agreed regional tariff rate for residents of care homes. However, Glencraig have recently indicated to South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT) that the needs of many of their residents, have over time, become more complex. The SEHSCT is currently in a process with the provider to reassess the needs of individual residents at Camphill and will adjust the level of funding in line with the reassessed needs and complexity of individuals.
