I thank the Minister of State for his reply. As he draws up those plans with the HSE, I will be watching him. I hope that he sticks to his word.

The Minister of State will agree that so many young people waiting this long for an assessment is worrying.

Occupational therapy is vital for children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, dyspraxia, spina bifida, etc. We really are at a crisis point with these waiting lists so I ask the Minister of State to do his best to reduce them.
