Questions on Promised Legislation

This is a very urgent matter. I met the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Finian McGrath, last year, to express my concern over the waiting lists in Laois and Offaly for speech therapy and occupational therapy. We now also have a long and unacceptable delay in the assessment of need for these children. Leaving these children on a waiting list for this amount of time is impacting greatly on their education and, more importantly, their well-being. It is a grave injustice. The Minister should get his act together and take action.
