An answer in writing would be great. It relates to the backlog and to access to services. I have probably raised it before. In west Cork, people sometimes travel 2.5 hours or more to access, for example, essential speech and language therapy. Many of the people who are doing that cannot spend a long time in a confined space so the journey becomes even longer. I think access to that service needs to be rolled out into more rural areas, especially far-reaching ones where the city can be more than two hours away.
