155. To ask the Minister for Health the number of adults and children with intellectual, physical and sensory disabilities or autism who are on waiting lists for speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and psychological services in County Wexford; the average length of time a person may expect to wait for such services; and her views that it is acceptable that long waiting lists prevent vulnerable children and adults from accessing vital early interventions that, if accessed in a timely manner, can have positive and life changing effects.

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
