Question from Deputy David Cullinane - PQ 44165-26

To ask the Minister for Health if she is aware of the ongoing delays in the provision, assessment, and setup of assistive technology (AT) supports due to a lack of in-house expertise within the HSE; the extent to which HSE staff are trained to assess and implement AT supports without reliance on external agencies such as the Central Remedial Clinic; and if she will outline any plans to increase training and capacity within the HSE to reduce waiting times.
