HIGHLIGHTS -
Some ID relevant information included in this
report:
People in
receipt of intellectual disability services are
recorded on the National Intellectual Disability Database (NIDD) (see Table 4.6). Since 2002, the numbers
of persons availing of day
services who are day attendees has
increased by 25% and the numbers who are full
time residents has increased by 8%. 82% of full-time residents are assessed as having
moderate, severe, or profound disability.
Data are also displayed by level of
disability for day attendees, but the figures are difficult to interpret given the relatively high
proportion of cases where the level of
disability has not been verified.
