Anne Rabbitte: Since 2021 the Government has sought to reinstate the pre-existing on-site health and social care supports to special schools. Between 2021 and 2022 Government provided funding for the reinstatement of 223 posts that had been historically provided.

That was relayed to my Department and the Department of public expenditure and funding was secured to ensure it could go full tilt. It is now able to provide children's services seven nights a week, 52 weeks of the...

Anne Rabbitte: It is important to say that in every budget in recent years we have secured funding for assessments of need. However, in July this year we changed the approach and secured additional funding which was approved by the Cabinet to enable the provision of private capacity for the delivery of assessments of need for our longest waiters.

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for his questions. I will answer on the ADHD piece. The Deputy stated that the clinic is closed. My understanding is that it is not closed but it is not taking any additional referrals at the moment. I have written to the mental health unit there because I do not agree with that approach. Approximately 40% of all children referred to CAMHS will be diagnosed with ADHD....

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Coveney for his questions. I will try to be as succinct as possible. It is sometimes helpful to understand the breakdown of the budget. From a residential point of view, and I am talking about 2024, not 2025, 57% of the budget is spent on residential care supporting 8,600 people. On day services, 24% of the budget is spent on supporting 21,000 people. A total of 5% of the...

Anne Rabbitte: I have, but it is important for everybody to understand. As a member of the Government, I seek the money, I get it and I give it to those who operationalise this, that is, the HSE. I want the children to receive the services. The Cabinet disability committee is very clear in its direction of the pilot programme. We knew the obstacles in Cork; they are still obstacles. I thank Deputy...
