There is an extra €2.8 billion in the Department's budget now. I am concerned, with that €2.8 billion, about the level of service being provided, which is non-existent in many cases. I know of a 15-year-old girl who is one of four siblings who have serious special and physical needs. For the past 12 months, she has been visiting a consultant, her doctor and the hospital on an emergency basis, to be told she requires physiotherapy. Yet, no physiotherapy is available to her from the children's disability network team, CDNT. Can anyone explain why that is the case?

How does the Department engage with the HSE on something like this to ensure the service is provided for the moneys it is paying?
