I see the HSE is slow to appoint therapists. There seems to be a significant blockage in appointing therapists in special schools, particularly when there is evidence abroad that this works. It shows good results. Even back as far as 2009, the HSE's own reports and policy documents state that parents could and would work between schools and health centres, but even with its own policy documents, it seems to be focused on the centralised model. Members across parties come to the Minister of State about therapists being taken out of schools and trying to get them back into schools. Why is the HSE so slow to support that bi-location of therapists?
