213. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Health the backlog or waiting list of appointments for each of the service areas managed by a service (details supplied) at a location; the details of the current employment levels; the number of unfilled vacancies the HSE has; the future recruitment plans to fill the vacancies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Programme for Government, Our Shared Future, recognises the needto 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.
