Ms Breda Crehan-Roche:

We have nine CDNTs across Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. We have some vacancies. The therapists will look at the needs of the individual children and will prioritise them. Obviously priority one will always get top priority. We also offer some group sessions particularly in speech and language therapy, SLT. It is constantly under review and we work closely with our colleagues across the section 38 and 39 bodies.

I take that point but the experience of many parents is simply being years on a waiting list and they see nobody. When it comes to the PDS model in general, is the HSE happy with that model?
