1288. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Health the number of persons in County Donegal who are awaiting an appointment for early intervention by therapy; the number waiting less than 6, 6 to 12 and more than 12 months, respectively, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Programme for Government, Our Shared Future, recognises the need to improve services for both children and adults with disabilities through better implementation and by working together across Government in a better way.
The Government commits to prioritising early diagnosis and access to services for children and ensuring that the most effective interventions are provided for each child, to guarantee the best outcomes.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
