Controversy over treatment for children with developmental issues: Health Ministry arrives at discussion without data

|
The Knesset Health Committee held a discussion on the reform that would eliminate reimbursements for private treatment of children with developmental issues. "I won't let this pass, even if they hurt me, they won't hurt my children," said Reut Yifat Uziel, mother of one of the children. Health Ministry representatives stunned those present when they arrived at the discussion without data on the number of children being treated and the number of therapists needed. MK Efrat Rayten (Labor) expressed anger: "There's such a huge shortage of therapists, you won't be able to conjure them up."
