Anne Rabbitte (FF), Galway East

I thank the Deputy for raising this matter which was also raised earlier on as part of the questions. The Taoiseach, the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and I are meeting Cara and her parents tomorrow at 1 p.m. We will address the four points the Deputy mentioned. It is important to have on the record of the Dáil that €11.89 million has been put in place for long waiters so that no parent has to spend the money. We will pay the clinicians directly for any child who has been waiting a long time for an assessment of need.
