Marc Ó Cathasaigh (GP), Waterford

I will start with a specific question and then broaden the discussion out. The specific question is on the issue of handwriting assessments, and the broader issue concerns occupational therapy. I ask the Minister the steps his Department is taking to address the barriers to the recruitment of occupational therapists into the HSE, and particularly to address the delays in the provision of handwriting assessments for children; and to make a statement on the matter.
