I raise an issue that I have raised previously, namely, the lack of public health nursing services for my constituents, especially those in Newcastle, Rathcoole and Lucan. Since I first highlighted this issue, babies and toddlers have missed developmental check-ups. Some have missed two. We talk all the time about early intervention, yet the HSE is providing no interventions whatsoever. I have been told again and again that as soon as student nurses come on stream, this matter will be resolved. However, time has moved on. Enough is enough. Parents are stressed out and children are missing check-ups. Parents want to know when these vital services will be provided, particularly as their taxes pay for them. This is what we need to provide to the children in my area. What is happening is not good enough.
