Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to reassure the Deputy and anyone looking in here that I was very fortunate in the budget to secure €11.5 million with the help of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to ensure that everyone awaiting an assessment of need since last March will be seen. We will clear the entire backlog of assessments of need. We have provision for all.
