Dr. Simon Walsh:

Definitely. Every parent will decide how much therapy his or her child needs. No one wants to overburden their child, and some parents will be much keener to get more therapy for their children because they think it might make them better, but after a while people find a happy medium. We have recently cut back on the physiotherapy we provide because it was a lot of work for us to be travelling around the county every week. We have cut it back to fortnightly. If we were able to submit the bills to the HSE and get reimbursed, that would be amazing. That is only one small thing. Wheelchairs, high chairs and little things like that come out of our mortgage budget. Other people are not able to fund them. If we were able to submit those bills to somebody, it would be a huge step.
