Vol. 506 No. 2
215 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kerry in special education is not currently receiving speech therapy and has never received speech therapy on a one-to-one basis; the plans, if any, he has to rectify this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14911/99]
The provision of health services in County Kerry is a matter, in the first instance, for the Southern Health Board.
As it would not be appropriate to provide the information sought by the Deputy in relation to the individual concerned by way of a parliamentary question, I have asked the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board to examine this matter and to respond directly to the Deputy.
