The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists has said healthcare workers are struggling to deliver “safe and effective” services.
The HSE has shown “little or no follow through” in its attempts to reform children’s disability services, a health workers' group has claimed.
The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists is warning that health and social workers are currently struggling to deliver “safe and effective” services to children with disabilities.“We have ongoing concerns about the lack of accountability, implementation of specialist clinical pathways, the impact on clinicians, recruitment challenges and the very high levels of stress that are being experienced by families and by clinicians on the ground,” she said.
“Engagement with the HSE over the years has resulted in little or no follow through and there’s continued concerns being raised by our members, by other professionals and by parents themselves. “At the crux of this is that children and families deserve access to evidence-based, high quality, appropriate and timely interventions - and they’re simply not getting this.”Ms Dunphy said recruitment and retention in particular remains a huge challenge for the health service, with some services struggling to fill vacancies.
“The reality is that children and families aren’t able to access services in a timely manner,” she said.The HSE has been contacted for comment.
