Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth
Progressing Disability Services: Discussion

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

Understanding how it is being implemented requires our understanding the standardised roll-out without hamstringing people in their responses and in the way they engage with families. It is challenging. As I said, we are very aware that gaps in therapies like speech and language therapy, psychology and occupational therapy present in primary care in the same way as they do for specialist services, whether in disability or mental health.
