There are various health service commitments in the programme for Government, in particular, commitments relating to early intervention and paediatric care. Figures recently released to me show that there are more than 260 children in County Mayo waiting for a first occupational therapy assessment and more than 420 children currently waiting for an appointment. What will the Taoiseach do to immediately address the shortages in staff and resources for occupational therapy services in County Mayo? I imagine that those shortages are being experienced in every county.
