MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 23, 2021

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee asks if a response has been received from the HSE in regards to the questions and motions passed on this issue. This pilot was a very welcomed initiative and considering we raised the matter and discussed the challenges with the various therapy's and the waiting lists in the area at a presentation given by HSE to this committee some years back its only appropriate that a report on its findings are brought back to this committee. MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE Tuesday, January 26, 2021 QUESTION NO. 9 QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole To ask the Chief Executive to confirm if HSE has responded or committed to attending our area committee as per last motion passed, See below: COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL South Dublin County Council Crest MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE Tuesday, February 25, 2020 MOTION NO. 6 MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole The previous area committee (Lucan area committee) were given a presentation from HSE on the health care in Lucan some time ago. At that time I had proposed the introduction of speech therapists into our classrooms given my experience with speech therapy challenges and given that so many parents / children at the time had challenges and so many still do. Since then a pilot scheme was introduced by the then relevant Minister between Department Education and HSE. We agreed to write to the Minister for an update on the pilot, this committee now calls on the Chief Executive to invite the HSE to our area committee meeting to give a presentation on this pilot. REPLY: The Council did not receive a reply to letter written to the HSE in 2020. A further letter will be written to the HSE in this regard.

REPLY:

A further letter issued to the HSE in September 2020 in this regard.  To-date the Council have not received a reply.
