Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I seek the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of urgent national importance, namely, despite making a sound economic argument against the reduction of up to €13.25 million in the cost of care for children with severe neurological development problems, the Jack and Jill Foundation has been unable to secure an additional €750,000 from the HSE for 2011, as a result of which the charity will be forced to cut home nursing care and respite services by up to 30% from January.
