Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Disability Services: Discussion

Ms Olivia Flanagan:

We are in the same boat. We find that the CDNTs are not fit for purpose. Our children are not getting services. We have never had an appointment through them. It is a battle to even find out who one's keyworker is in a CDNT, never mind ask for or get services. One can have better luck with primary care but it can be very sporadic.
