Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I could not agree more. To be fair, the Minister for Health has recently given me the approval to make an intervention on primary care waiting lists. The Minister for disability is likewise on the CDNT. Specifically on the CDNTs, as I said to one of the Deputy's colleagues, critical to the reform of children getting access to therapy services in disabilities is the reform of the assessment of need process; I want to stress that is without removing the right. It is so outdated and so litigious. We are wasting endless hours of therapy resources. I question their value to children.
