234. To ask the Minister for Health if he will examine the case of a child (details supplied) who has been on the waiting list for services within the child development team for a considerable amount of time; when the child will be allocated the supports needed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Programme for Government, Our Shared Future, recognises the need to improve services for both children and adults with disabilities through better implementation and by working together across Government in a better way. 

The  Government commits to prioritising early diagnosis and access to services for children and ensuring that the most effective interventions are provided for each child, to guarantee the best outcomes.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly.
