Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Bernard O'Regan:
Yes. Throughout the CHOs, there are averages for the CDNTs but this could be 19% in one CHO and as much as 43% in another CHO. Within this there are teams that have a vacancy rate of 60% or 65%. There are large variations among teams. Some teams have close to a 100% occupancy rate of the posts allocated to them. They may be at 90% or 95%. There are others that are way behind.
