Just Five Assessments Of Need Completed In Clare In First Quarter of 2026

Just five Assessments of Need were completed in Clare during the first three months of this year, while more than 100 children were left waiting beyond the statutory timeframe.   For many families, those delays mean waiting even longer to access vital therapies and supports at a crucial stage of a child's development.   Joining Alan Morrissey to discuss the impact of these figures, and what needs to change, were Ann Norton, founder of Clare Crusaders Children's Clinic, and disability rights activist Ann Marie Flanagan.
