Options cut along with funding at care centre

ANNA Potiomicina held her daughter tightly as she tried to explain how health cutbacks at the Daughter’s of Charity service in Dublin would impact on her family.

You would think holding her would be the easy part – it isn’t.

Anna’s daughter, Ella, is 12 and an exercise in perpetual motion. She has severe autism and visits the Developmental Educational Centre at the Daughters of Charity every single day.
