Cork's Children Disability Network Teams facing complaints amid 'significant challenges' 

A higher than predicted caseloads is compounded by a lack of suitable workspaces, resources, and admin support

The CDNT scheme was rolled out by the HSE last year in a bid to provide a range of supports to children with complex needs.

Children’s Disability Network Teams (CDNTs) in Cork are facing high numbers of complaints due to a lack of resources, as almost 2,200 children in the region await initial contact from the service.

CDNTs are teams of health and social care professionals, including nursing, occupational therapy, psychology, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, social work and others.
