Local TD Seán Canney has received confirmation from the HSE that the National Clinical Programme for the treatment of ADHD has not yet been extended to the Community Health West.
The Galway East TD said that the HSE could not advise him as to when this service will be put in place, which he said is “typical of announcing a National Plan but failing in the implementation of it.”
He said that this leaves the West without parity of service, with patients having no option but to travel to Dublin for treatment and consultations.
“It is time that the HSE treated all citizens with respect and at least have a plan that is deliverable with timelines, so we know what to expect and when to expect the services to be in place,” said Deputy Canney.
“We have a fine Primary Care Unit located in Tuam with space to provide the service and is ideally located to serve the needs of Galway, Mayo and Roscommon and the West.”
