115 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Education the waiting times for young people and children for psychological assessment in the Eastern Health Board area.
Psychological services for primary school children in the Eastern Health Board area are the responsibility of the Eastern Health Board, through the directors of community care, apart from the Clondalkin area and part of Tallaght, where a pilot programme has been in operation for some time under the auspices of my Department. I understand from the Eastern Health Board that child and adolescent psychiatric services are provided by three separate agencies in their region, and so the information requested by the Deputy is not routinely available.
