HSE pledges to tackle waiting lists for child psychology services

The HSE has promised to address waiting lists, stretching to 22 months, for critical child psychology services in Cork and Kerry.

The health executive reacted after the issue was raised by Senator Tim Lombard who said he was “shocked and deeply concerned” about the delays.

“It’s a huge period of time in the life of a child and a very substantial portion of their development,” he said.
