38. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Health if he will report on the waiting times for autistic children seeking access to therapies in Beechpark Service in the Dublin North-West Health Service Executive area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8533/16]

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, she can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
