206 Mrs. T. Ahern and Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Health if a psychological service will be provided for the Day Care Centre for the Severely Handicapped in Cashel, County Tipperary.
The deployment of available staff in the South Eastern Health Board for this purpose is a matter for decision by the board having regard to the competing requirements of other services. All health boards have been requested to prepare multi-annual plans for the future development of mental handicap services and any additional provision for the Cashel Day Care Centre should be considered in this context.
