The Taoiseach will be aware of the difficulties families encounter in accessing mental health services, particularly for children and young people. An organisation in Limerick called Dóchas Midwest Autism Support caters for 200 young people and children each week and it has direct access to 300 families. It recently applied for a children's disability services grant and was refused for reasons that were incomprehensible to me. If it had succeeded, it would have doubled its capacity. Services for young people with autism in the mid-west are sparse and would be infinitely worse if this organisation did not exist. Does the Government intend to increase provision for organisations like this because they do invaluable work, as the Taoiseach knows, and deal with families that are often under great stress? Can the Taoiseach confirm whether the grant will be available again in the not-too-distant future?

I thank the Deputy very much for his question. At the start, he mentioned that this matter falls under mental health services, but it actually falls under the remit of my colleague Deputy Anne Rabbitte, the Minister of State responsible for disabilities. Obviously, there are some children with dual diagnoses who need the support of CAMHS and who might have a secondary diagnosis of autism. With regard to the mental health budget, €108 million has been spent this year alone on various grants to various organisations to support them, but I will certainly raise the issue the Deputy has raised today with the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte. Many organisations send business cases to the various CHOs, and they are examined. In some instances, they fall down with respect to governance or accounts, but I will certainly ask the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, to look into this for the Deputy.
