\u201cIn January, 80 new therapy posts for children\u2019s disability services were announced at an estimated cost of \u20ac4million and unbelievabley up until today have still have not been advertised or filled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe HSE need to explain what is actually causing this inexcusable delay to these vital therapy posts and how many will be needed to ensure that the proposed new Disability Network Teams are fully staffed.<\/p>\n
“We are also still in the dark regarding the estimated cost for fully implementing EPSEN (the Education for Persons with Special Needs Act 2004,) and particularly the section on Individual Educational Plans for children with disabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the 10th year of that ground breaking Act being passed and its still to successive governments’ shame not fully implemented.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we are to achieve an inclusive society, the HSE need to ensure that children with disabilities are given the supports they need and they can begin by ending the scandal of these 80 unfilled therapy posts.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
