Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O’Malley)

The provision of health related services, including speech and language therapy, is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. Accordingly, a copy of the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the Mid-Western Health Board with a request that he examine the case and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
