Written Answers. - Speech Therapy Service.
The provision of speech and language therapy services in the west Waterford area is a matter for the South-Eastern Health Board. I have had inquiries made of the board and I understand that there are four post-primary children on the waiting list for these services in that area and that the average waiting time is three years.
