Liam Lawlor
Question:147 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Health the action, if any, he will take to improve the speech therapy service at Rowlagh Health Centre, Dublin 22, due to the backlog of patients seeking therapy from the currently heavily overworked speech therapist; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that young children with serious speech problems will not be seen until well into 1997, by which stage their problems will be more difficult to treat; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
