Vol. 483 No. 1
170 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will give details of the prospects there are for continuing access to a speech therapist for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19903/97]
As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of suitable services, including speech therapy, to persons with a mental handicap in the eastern region is the responsibility of the Eastern Health Board.
I have asked the chief executive officer of the Eastern Health Board to examine this matter and to respond directly to the Deputy.
