961. Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Health his plans to reduce the waiting times for intervention at the Dublin South East Health Service Executive Early Intervention Team based in Ballinteer, Dublin 16 due to staff shortages; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31266/15]

The particular issue raised by the Deputy is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
