276. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the unacceptably long waiting lists for CAMHS services in County Wexford including child and adolescent psychology and occupational therapy; the plans he has to address this matter; if he will consider providing supports to families to obtain private treatment for children in urgent need under the treatment purchase scheme; if he will review the current waiting lists and instigate a waiting list initiative within CAMHS similar to the initiative which was run in the National Counselling Service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
