There are 445 children waiting for disability services in County Wexford. They and their families are in dire circumstances. This week "Prime Time" exposed the extent of the lack of services throughout the country through the bravery of the Milne family. I have met families in Wexford who are vexed by having to and tired and worn out from fighting for services for their children. They are sick and tired of telling their stories. They need and want action. Front-line staff are struggling with the numbers and are also stressed out. Something must be done to fix this now. The HSE has stated that there is a serious requirement for additional resources to meet demand. What action can be taken and will be taken to fix the inadequacies and failure to provide services to our most vulnerable children and their families in Wexford and beyond?
