Access and Inclusion Model supports
Deputy Rabbitte asks about nursing, capital and therapy supports under the new preschool inclusion model; the Taoiseach says these matters will be addressed during the legislation debate.
This morning the Access and Inclusion Model was launched as part of the programme for a partnership Government and I have some questions for the Taoiseach on that. Will preschool nurses be recruited to support the child care settings? Will capital funding be provided as part of it? Will consideration be given to the clustering of occupational therapists and specialists with the national schools in an area? In particular, if the occupational therapist or the physiotherapist is called out, will he or she go across the road to visit the national school and will there be a follow-up?
