Introduction
|
Muscular Dystrophy Ireland (MDI) is a voluntary organization, which was established in 1972 by a small group of people in the west of Ireland to support families who had a member with muscular dystrophy. Since then it has grown considerably and it now has a membership of over 540 members and a network of branches throughout Ireland. There are now MDI offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Sligo, Tullamore and Kells, and MDI staff members are also based in the Mid-West and South East regions. MDI’s primary objective is to provide support for people and their families who are affected by muscular dystrophy and allied neuromuscular condition

Physical & Sensory Database
Physical and Sensory Disability Database
There are two national disability databases in Ireland, the Intellectual Disability Database and the Physical and Sensory Disability Database. Compilation of these Databases started in 2001 and we at MDI would have written to members in the past to inform you about the Physical and Sensory Disability Database and encouraged you to submit your details. To date, and according to a recent survey which MDI conducted, 56% of our members are not registered on this database.
The HSE use this database to determine what level of funding it provides locally and to organisations such as MDI each year for the provision of services. Therefore, given the current financial crisis in which we are all experiencing, it is now very important that members register their details on this database. We would therefore encourage members once again to register on this database if you haven''t done so already. For more information on the Physical and Sensory Disability Database and how to register, click here. |
