2978. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the current living arrangements of children and adolescents awaiting residential disability placements, including the number living at home, in respite or emergency accommodation, in an acute hospital, in a mental health facility or in another temporary placement; and the figures by HSE Health Region. [58193/26]

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