The programme for Government includes many commitments in regard to disabilities and the disabilities sector. Is the Tánaiste aware of the chronic crisis in terms of access by parents of young children to occupational therapy services and other services and that the HSE is issuing letters to the effect that there is a delay of up to 24 months in regard to assessments and services provision. This is happening across the spectrum but my question to the Tánaiste today is in regard to services for young people in particular. Is she aware of the crisis in this area and what does the Government propose to do to tackle it?
