This is in the southern region. It was contained in reply to a Commencement matter I received this morning. It stated:

HSE disability services is currently engaged in a major reconfiguration of its existing therapy resources for children with disabilities into multidisciplinary, geographically based teams as part of its national programme on progressing disability services for children and young people ... The HSE is working towards having the progressing disability services model in place in Cork by the second quarter of 2019. It is expected that this will facilitate access to therapies for all children with disabilities.
