542. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Health when the child psychologist post that has been vacant at a centre (details supplied) since January 2020 will be filled, as assessments of need are not being carried out in the required timeframe of three months. [30969/20]
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.
