475. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the case of a child (details supplied) in County Louth, who has been assessed by an occupational therapist as meeting the diagnostic criteria for development co-ordination disorder/dyspraxia; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that the occupational therapist has recommended follow-up occupational therapy service, but that the Health Service Executive has indicated a waiting time of 18 to 24 months for this to begin; if he will examine this case, with a view to beginning this treatment, as soon as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the particular issue raised by the Deputy relates to an individual case, this is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
