Amharc ar fhreagra144. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Health his plans to fully reinstate the provision of early intervention and school age disability services [40543/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 142, 143 and 144 together.
The 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.
