Disabilities Assessments
74. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health the number of children with disabilities on the waiting list for assessment for early intervention; and the average waiting time to get an assessment. [22328/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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.
