Ms Sarah O'Connell:

We do not know. We would like the clinics to be answerable regarding how their budget is being spent. They have been given money to spend on their service. The Limerick clinic was one of the last ones to open. It runs one clinic every second week and can only see two to three patients per clinic, which means it is seeing four to six patients in a month, which is just astounding. We have heard feedback that Limerick has no consultant in place. As the Deputy's question suggests, from patients' reports we can see there is no consistency in how these clinics are being run. The majority of the time things like OT sessions are done online. It just seems to be very much up to each service as to whether all the staff are there on the day and how things run. We do not know why they are not running more regularly.
