Under the Health Act 2004, the Health Service Executive, HSE, is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Section 6 of the HSE Governance Act 2013 bars the Minister for Health from directing the HSE to provide a treatment or a personal service to any individual or to confer eligibility on any individual.
The national waiting list management policy, a standardised approach to managing scheduled care treatment for inpatient, day case and planned procedures, January 2014, has been developed to ensure that all administrative, managerial and clinical staff follow an agreed national minimum standard for the management and administration of waiting lists for scheduled care. This policy, which has been adopted by the HSE, sets out the processes that hospitals are to implement to manage waiting lists.
In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.

The Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives. This commitment is outlined in the programme for partnership Government, which is guided by two principles: equality of opportunity and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive, HSE, for direct reply to the Deputy.

The Government recognises the importance of supporting the mental health of carers.
Any person who has questions or concerns about their mental health should contact their local GP, who will be able to provide support, information about available resources and onward referral if needed.
Supports that can be accessed through a GP include behavioural family therapy, home care and day centres, and information about education courses. The HSE, Shine and Mental Health Ireland run education courses for family, friends and carers. These education courses aim to help family, friends and carers to learn more about mental health problems and to manage the symptoms and difficulties encountered.
A number of community and voluntary organisations run support groups for family, friends and carers which provide support and an opportunity to discuss shared experiences. These include Aware, Shine and Bodywhys. There may be other support groups at local level.
The HSE provides a dedicated site with information for carers and signposting to relevant services. This website can be accessed at www.hse.ie/carers.
