2967. Deputy Conor D. McGuinness asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of respite places available in each county in each year from 2020 to date; the number of persons currently awaiting access to respite services; the average waiting time; and the longest waiting time, broken down by county, in tabular form. [58149/26]

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