832. Deputy Michael Murphy asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of children currently assigned to CDNT5 in Clonmel; the number awaiting initial assessment and therapeutic intervention, broken down by discipline; the average waiting time for access to services; whether she is satisfied that the current staffing complement can safely and effectively meet the needs of a caseload reportedly exceeding 500 children; and the immediate additional resources that will be provided to restore adequate multidisciplinary services. [73923/26]

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