Ms Grainne Morrison:

There are not enough professionals. Whether it is educational psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists or psychiatrists, they are just not there. The money is being pushed up for assessment. Years ago, it was possible to get a speech and language therapist for €50, and then interventions after that. All of those budgets are going up, however. It is the same with psychiatrists. A full assessment used to cost €600 but that price has gone up.
