I propose to take Questions Nos. 913 and 919 together.

The Assessment of Need (AON) process is provided for under the Disability Act 2005 and is a process under the remit and responsibility of the Health Service Executive (HSE) and the Department of Children, Disability and Equality.

Therefore, any queries regarding assessment of need waiting lists should be directed to the HSE and the Department of Children, Disability, and Equality.
