Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE

Ms Angela O'Neill:

It is a very easy question to answer in terms of CHO 4. Kerry and west Cork reconfigured to CDNTs in 2013. The remaining areas in Cork reconfigured at the beginning of April. CHO 4, Cork-Kerry community healthcare, is one of the areas that has completely reconfigured. In terms of the rest of the country, CDNTs are in place in CHO 3, Clare, Limerick and north Tipperary, and in Kildare west-Wicklow. They are the places our CDNTs, our nought to 18 teams, are in place. All other areas will have their teams in place by the end of quarter 2, the end of June.
