View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 460, 461 and 463 to 467, inclusive, together.
The delivery of an effective, efficient Assessment of Need system is a priority for the Government. There has been intensive work by the Department and the HSE to address delays in the provision of Assessments of Need to children and their families.
Children do not require an Assessment of Need to access health services, including Primary Care, Children’s Disability Network Teams or Mental Health Services, or education supports.
However, demand for Assessments of Need has increased significantly in recent years, reflecting both the increase in population and the number of families exploring all options to access services for their child. The impact of this increased demand has contributed to there being over 21,000 applications overdue for completion at the end of Q1 2026.
It is important to note that Children’s Disability Network Teams (CDNTs) and the Assessment of Need process operate independently of one another. The HSE is responsible for the delivery of the Assessment of Need process, with HSE Assessment Officers arranging and producing Assessment of Need reports for children and their families. This can involve requesting clinical assessments to inform the process and these may be requested from Primary Care, CDNTs or approved private providers.
Children’s Disability Network Teams provide supports and services to children and young people with complex needs. While some children, who receive services from CDNTs, may have, or have applied for, an Assessment of Need, many do not.
The Deputy has requested large amounts of data broken down by area and by county. The HSE does not provide a breakdown of Assessment of Need data by CDNT or by county. Data is only available by Regional Health Area and Local Health Office. Due to the constraints of the ePQ system which does not support multiple large tables, this data will be sent directly to the Deputy. The most recent data for Q1 2026 is provided in Tables 1 and 2 below.
The HSE reports that in the first three months of this year, the national average time for completion of the assessment process was 23.81 months. As this is a national figure, there will be regional variations with some Assessment of Need reports being delivered within a shorter timeframe.
There has been intensive work by the Department of Children, Disability and Equality and the HSE to address delays in the provision of Assessments of Need. This is evident in the continued improvement in the number of completed Assessment of Need reports with 5,939 reports completed nationally in 2025. This is a 43% increase compared to the number completed in 2024. The HSE reports that 1,528 Assessment of Need reports were completed in the first 3 months of this year compared to 1,402 in Q1 2025. This improvement is welcome and must continue.
In December 2025, Government announced a series of improvements to the Assessment of Need process. This includes legislative and operational changes which will make it more effective and efficient for children and families. Over time, this should lead to a reduction in the waiting time to receive an assessment.
Importantly, the proposed legislative changes will not remove any rights for parents to apply for an Assessment of Need for their child. They will also not alter the six-month timeline in the Act.
The General Scheme of the Disability (Amendment) Bill has been published on the Department’s website. The Joint Committee on Disability Matters has published its report, following pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill, and the Department is considering its recommendations. []www.gov.ie/en/department-of-children-disability-and-equality/publications/assessment-of-needs-process-proposed-changes/.
has also been published, providing information on Assessment of Need and the proposed changes.
Legislation is only part of the response. The Department is working with the HSE to identify further opportunities to enhance processes, improve training, and increase administrative supports for HSE Assessment Officers who are responsible for the production of Assessment of Need reports. This includes the establishment of working groups to address learning and development needs and to develop statutory guidelines.
The HSE continues to progress actions to address the wider issue of access to services and supports for children with disabilities including:
• Introduction of a Single Point of Access system by the HSE. The model will be rolled out this year and will make it easier for families to be referred to the right service as early as possible, whether that is primary care, CDNT or mental health services. It aims to streamline referrals and reduce duplication, so children do not end up on multiple waiting lists.
• Implementation of the Autism Assessment and Intervention Pathways Protocol which was launched in May 2026. This will provide a standardised assessment process for autism across primary care, mental health and disability services.
• The creation of eleven new HSE teams, initially, to support assessment processes, including Assessment of Need, providing clinical guidance and administrative supports.
It is intended that these improvements to the AON process will result in a noticeable reduction in waiting times for children and their families across the country.

462.

View answerThe delivery of an effective, efficient Assessment of Need system is a priority for Government. Government further recognises that there are unacceptable delays in accessing Assessments of Need at present.
It is important at the outset to reiterate that children do not require an Assessment of Need report to access health services, including Primary Care, Children’s Disability Network Teams, Mental Health Services, or education supports. However, demand for Assessments of Need has increased significantly in recent years, reflecting both the increase in population and families exploring all options to access services for their child.
While the HSE does not provide Assessment of Need data by county, data is provided by Regional Health Area and Local Health Office (LHO) area. The most recent data provided by the HSE for Kerry LHO is for Q1 2026. The data the Deputy has requested is provided in the following table:

The HSE reports that 1,528 Assessment of Need reports were completed in the first 3 months of this year compared to 1,402 in Q1 2025. This improvement is welcome and must continue.
In December 2025, Government announced a series of improvements to the Assessment of Need process. This includes legislative and operational changes which will make it more effective and efficient for children and families. Over time, this should lead to a reduction in the waiting time to receive an assessment.
Importantly, the proposed legislative changes will not remove any rights for parents to apply for an Assessment of Need for their child. They will also not alter the six-month timeline in the Act.
The General Scheme of the Disability (Amendment) Bill has been published on the Department’s website. The Joint Committee on Disability Matters has published its report, following pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill, and the Department is considering its recommendations. An []www.gov.ie/en/department-of-children-disability-and-equality/publications/assessment-of-needs-process-proposed-changes/ has also been published, providing information on Assessment of Need and the proposed changes.
Legislation is only one part of the response. The Department is working with the HSE to identify further opportunities to enhance processes, improve training, and increase administrative supports for HSE Assessment Officers who are responsible for the production of Assessment of Need reports. This includes the establishment of working groups to address learning and development needs and to develop statutory guidelines.
The HSE continues to progress actions to address the wider issue of access to services and supports for children with disabilities including:

The model will be rolled out this year and will make it easier for families to be referred to the right service as early as possible, whether that is primary care, CDNT or mental health services. It aims to streamline referrals and reduce duplication, so children do not end up on multiple waiting lists.
• Implementation of the Autism Assessment and Intervention Pathways Protocol which was launched in May 2026. This will provide for a consistent approach to autism assessments across key HSE services including Primary Care, CAMHs and Children’s Disability Network Teams (CDNTs). This is significant as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was noted as the category of disability in 45% of all completed assessments of need in the first nine months of 2025. The provision of a clear pathway to an autism assessment may reduce reliance by parents on the Assessment of Need process as a means of acquiring a diagnosis. Implementation of the Protocol is ongoing and is being led by the HSE.
• The creation of eleven new HSE teams, initially, to support assessment processes, including Assessment of Need, providing clinical guidance and administrative supports.
It is intended that these improvements to the AON process will result in a noticeable reduction in waiting times for children and their families across the country.
468. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the progress to date in recruiting therapists for disability services in Cavan and Monaghan in view of the long delays for children with additional needs in accessing essential supports; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54688/26]
View answerAs this question refers to the service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
469. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the measures that will be implemented to increase childcare capacity in areas such as Cavan town where parents are experiencing difficulty in children getting placements; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54689/26]
View answerImproving access to quality and affordable Early Learning and Care and School Age Childcare is a key priority of Government. Early learning and childcare capacity is increasing. Data from the Annual Early Years Sector Profile 2024/25 shows that the estimated number of enrolments increased by approximately 25% from the 2021/22 programme year. However, it appears that demand for early learning and childcare remains higher than available supply in certain parts of the country, particularly for younger children.
The Department continues to support the ongoing development and resourcing of Core Funding which has given rise to a significant expansion of places since the scheme was first introduced. Core Funding, which is in its fourth programme year, funds services based on the number of places available. This provides stability to services, and reduces the risk associated with opening a new service or expanding an already existing service.
The Government is also supporting the expansion of capacity through capital funding. The Building Blocks Extension Grant Scheme is designed to increase capacity in the 1–3-year-old, pre–Early Childhood Care and Education, age range for full day care. Core Funding Partner Services could apply for capital funding to physically extend their premises or to construct or purchase new premises. The Scheme will deliver up to 1,500 new full-day care places.
Following on from the success of the Building Blocks Extension Grant Scheme, a further Building Blocks scheme is open for applications. This round of capital funding will focus on funding extensions to existing premises to allow for increased numbers of children to be offered places on a full-time basis. Community and private providers who are currently Core Funding partner services will be eligible to apply for this scheme. Details can be found here: []ww.gov.ie/en/department-of-children-disability-and-equality/publications/building-blocks-extension-scheme-phase-2/.
Separately, I recently announced €135 million of capital investment over the coming five years for State-led services to provide high-quality, accessible early learning and childcare. The process will begin in 2026 with investment in buildings in what will be a ground-breaking initiative. The State-led initiative will provide thousands of places up to 2030.
The Department also funds 30 City/County Childcare Committees, which provide support and assist families and early learning and childcare providers. The network of 30 City/County Childcare Committees across the country can assist in identifying vacant places in services for children and families who need them and engage proactively with services to explore possibilities for expansion among services, particularly where there is unmet need.
Parents experiencing difficulty in relation to their early learning and childcare needs should contact their local City/County Childcare Committee for assistance. The contact details for the Cavan County Childcare Committee may be found at []https://cavanccc.ie/.

471. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of people awaiting a home help package in Kerry, broken down by area and by length of time, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54743/26]
View answerThe HSE provides a range of assisted living services, including home support services, to support individuals to maximise their capacity to live full and independent lives.
Home support services are provided to both children and adults with a wide range of disabilities from physical and sensory disabilities to intellectual disabilities and autism. Funding was provided under Budget 2026 to support the delivery of an additional 103,800 home support hours this year, with almost 4m hours to be delivered in total to over 7,000 disabled people.
