Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Mark Darmody:

On CORU, there is a private psychologist in Clonmel who has two other psychologists working with her. She has offered them to the local HSE and it said "No" because they were abroad. There is a rule whereby they would have to be in Ireland for something like three years. It is a stupid regulation. She could triple capacity and solve the AON crisis in Tipperary tomorrow morning but the HSE will not allow her. When that kind of bureaucracy is allowed, we are in some trouble in this country.
