Families of children with autism and moderate learning disabilities who are due diagnoses are in a crisis situation in counties Louth and Meath. I am aware of 15 families who have adolescent children with autism and moderate learning disabilities who urgently require a psychiatric review but have been told by the HSE that the service is not available as there is no psychiatrist on the HSE team. When will a psychiatrist be made available on the HSE team in counties Louth and Meath?
