Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: Will the Minister consider undertaking a stakeholder review of the progressing disability services model in light of the fact that it does not work on many fronts?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: The progressing disabilities model is not working on many fronts. There were 91 CDNTs established before the end of 2021. According to the HSE census from a year ago, only one of those teams was fully staffed. A number were close but quite a number had vacancy rates up to 70%. A team cannot function with a vacancy rate of 70% or even 50% or 30%. Many children have no access to their...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: We have been hearing about a recruitment campaign for quite some time. The progressing disability model was drawn up in 2013 or 2014, I think. At that time, workforce planning was not done and we now do not have sufficient therapists. I acknowledge it will take time to educate enough therapists but there is no guarantee they will work in disability services. There are many other areas...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: I thank the Minister. As an example, I was recently contacted by a parent whose eldest son is autistic and whose younger son has just been diagnosed as autistic. She is familiar with the needs of her children and describes her younger son as pre-verbal. He needs support now. She has contacted the CDNT about getting him the support he needs prior to him starting school, because it is going...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: The Minister has mentioned AsIAm and the pilot programme. Adam Harris and another young person were before the committee last week and they referenced the delay in accessing devices for children who need them and that their organisation would be rolling out a pilot programme. That is fantastic. The organisation does fantastic work. I also commend CAPS in my area for the fantastic work it...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Staff (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: I know the Minister of State is giving a reply on behalf of the Minister for Education but the reply just outlines the process, which I am aware of.

The appeal the school made in October was turned down last week as a result of the school being one pupil short despite it being known that there are three...
