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 it would be inappropriate for me as Minister to personally intervene, I have however asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
