1132. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of children on waiting lists for an assessment of need for each month to date 2019-2024, inclusive, in tabular form; the number overdue for completion; and the average length of wait in Cork, by LHO or administrative area.

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. The Deputy will likely be aware that the industrial action by certain Fórsa grades in the HSE has been suspended. The HSE has indicated that they have recommenced issuing replies to questions but there is a significant backlog of PQs and Reps to be responded to and has advised that they are working to get through these as soon as possible while at the same time managing the volume of current PQs and Reps.
