Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth
Disability Services: Discussion
Ms Lucy Moran:
For me, Joey is 14 now, so if we scrap PDS and CDNT he will never be seen by anybody before he moves into adult services. The model for the CDNT looks great on paper but the roll-out in County Carlow has been an absolute disaster. There are nine clinicians employed by the CDNT in County Carlow at the moment but there are 23 allocated posts. Retention and recruitment of staff have been major issues there. I am not sure if I would like to go back to the way it was. I would just like it to be fixed. Please.
