Dr. Cathal Morgan:

My assessment of the difficulty is that access to therapy grades is a problem in the area and more therapists are needed. There is no doubt about this. Separate to that is the need for a restructuring of how services are delivered so that there is more co-ordination between the various services that deliver therapy services. Some funded services do not play a role in the assessment process and they stand outside of that. Therapy services specific to the organisation that deliver those types of services. This is why we want to progress disability services into new network teams that are managed by a single person who has complete responsibility.
