Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 168 to 172, inclusive, together.

I am aware of the concerns mentioned by the Deputy. A number of the health boards have been working together with the Irish Society for Autism to address various concerns, including those mentioned by the Deputy. In relation to the question raised about public funds the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department as funding is allocated by the boards on a case by case basis. My Department has asked the chief executive officer of the South Western Area Health Board to reply directly to the Deputy on behalf of the various boards in relation to this matter.
