Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 March 2021
177. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health his views on the case of a five-year-old profoundly deaf child (details supplied) who has been waiting for over four years for a speech and language therapist. [12180/21]
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.
