468. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the progress to date in recruiting therapists for disability services in Cavan and Monaghan in view of the long delays for children with additional needs in accessing essential supports; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54688/26]

As this question refers to the service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
