HSE Disappointed Nuns No Longer Able To Provide Cregg House Services
The Health Service Executive has said it is disappointed by the news that the Daughters of Wisdom have confirmed they are no longer in a position to provide services for people with a disability.
The HSE said it had been working with the Daughters of Wisdom over recent months to try and find solutions to the difficulties they were experiencing, however they were informed of the decision yesterday afternoon.
The Provincial Leader of the Daughters of Wisdom Sister, Jean Quinn, said she is disappointed the charity is no longer in a position to provide services at Cregg House.
She said the decision taken was not by choice but because the charity could not afford to continue providing the service.
In a statement the HSE said this period of transition and change is unsettling for people who use the services, their families and staff, but wants to reassure clients and their families that they will continue to receive the services that they require."
Cregg House has been run by the Daughters for 57 years and caters for 214 people with intellectual disabilities including 188 residents and 26 people who avail of day services.
Sr Jean Quinn said it was not the Daughters of Wisdom choice to leave and that's why they stayed in the negotiations with the HSE for so long.
