Austin Deasy
Question:60 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Health and Children his views on the fact that it can take up to three years for primary children in County Waterford to receive speech therapy; the emergency plans, if any, he has to provide finance to improve the situation in view of the fact the South-Eastern Health Board does not have the necessary funds to provide the quality of service required; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
