Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor asked the Minister for Health why a person (details supplied) has been informed that there is a two-year waiting time to access the Health Service Executive's support services, by which time the person will be in mainstream school and will fall to the end of the executive's waiting list and will not have access to the vital supports needed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the issue raised by the Deputy relates to an individual case, this is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. I have asked the HSE to look into the particular matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy. If she has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days she should contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
