CRC service users ‘must be on board’

The new board of the Central Remedial Clinic must include people using the service and their families to prevent a repeat of the shocking top-ups controversy.

Minister of State with responsibility for disability services, Kathleen Lynch, made the call after the board of the under-fire charity stepped down en masse before Christmas due to the scandal.

The Labour TD said it would be “foolish” not to include service users, their families and frontline staff in any future board of governors of the vital facility.
