Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 September 2020
217. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Health his views on the impact of the redeployment of HSE therapists to work as Covid-19 testers and contact tracers on the services provided to persons with disabilities. [24663/20]
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.
