Health Services

I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive reply on behalf of the Minister for Health. The fact remains, however, that the child's mother has reached the end of her tether. The Minister has been in contact with the HSE and realises, through the school and the family, that there are issues that need urgent attention. This issue must be dealt with urgently. I know that resources are very tight, but the position is very serious. I, therefore, ask the Minister, through the Minister of State, to notify me when the child will receive a visit from an occupational therapist. This must happen within a number of days, not weeks, because the family is extremely concerned about the boy's safety.
