Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2020
1159. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Health if a child and teen physiotherapist can continue on a one-to-one basis for children with disabilities such as muscle dyspraxia and Asperger's syndrome under level 5 Covid-19 restrictions. [32455/20]
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, as soon as possible.
