50 people across Longford/Westmeath are currently awaiting a residential service while being cared for by parents or carers aged over 60.
A Longford Westmeath TD says aging carers are being placed under immense pressure due to the ongoing failure of Government when it comes to disability services.
New figures show that 50 people across the constituency are currently awaiting a residential service while being cared for by parents or carers aged over 60.
Sinn Fein's Sorca Clarke believes the State is failing to keep pace with growing demand.
The HSE says the waiting list is being reviewed on a regular basis but Deputy Clarke insists the shortfall is unacceptable:
