Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion
Alan Dillon (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank the witnesses for taking time to attend. It is a very important session, so that is much appreciated. My questions are for Mr. Noble in regard to the new model of assessing children. If he were Minister, what would he identify as the unnecessary obstacles and barriers that need to be removed immediately? What are the key changes that should be implemented, possibly with less effort than others? What key priorities does he identify within the service statement he mentioned in his opening statement to meet the needs of a child-centred approach? How would that be implemented in terms of HSE diagnostics, intervention, recruitment of personnel and possibly the funding model which goes with that?
