Disabled children 'in 200km trip' CARE.


FINE Gael yesterday blasted the HSE HSE House

HSE Hamilton Southeastern (High School)
HSE Health, Safety & Environment
HSE Higher School of Economics (Moscow, Russia) 
 after it emerged a family has to take their disabled child on a 200km round trip daily to get to care facilities.

Fine Gael's Olivia Mitchell wants an inquiry into why many teenagers with conditions such as autism autism (ô`tĭzəm), developmental disability resulting from a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain. It is characterized by the abnormal development of communication skills, social skills, and reasoning.  were being left to "fend for themselves" after they left school.

The Dublin South TD said the HSE had withdrawn transport for the children needing specialist help this year.

The Deputy added a mother in Dublin has to drive more than 200km a day to get her 18-year-old daughter to a facility in South Wicklow.

She said: "The woman is never off the road and this is happening to many other families."
