Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I might ask Ms Doran to talk about recruitment. Before I do, however, Ms Queally is a regional chief and is very experienced at running these things. There is a paradox in therapy waiting lists where the more therapists that are provided, the more demand can be increased. It is a good thing and people benefit from it, but it distorts the picture. I have a particular concern about Cork. I have raised my concerns with the regional team there. In fairness, I have asked for a very specific focus, not just in disability services but in CAMHS and children's services generally. The waiting lists in Cork are quite distorted. Ms Queally might pick up the question from there.
